“We’re delighted to be named to Constellation’s ShortList™ of Customer Data Platforms for 2022,” said Christian Monberg, Zeta Chief Technology Officer and Head of Product. “This recognition underscores the power of the ZMP to empower sophisticated enterprises to ingest, enhance and activate first party data and achieve a greater return on investment. While CDPs are not new for most marketers, this report highlights that the technology is rapidly evolving, with different technology providers approaching the market differently as many enterprises are challenged with a tough macro-economy and changing consumer behaviors. Zeta’s platform combines our proprietary Data Cloud of over 235 million identities with a robust data model out of the box to make it easier for marketers to utilize customer data to create, manage and continually improve the performance of individualized marketing programs.”
“Customer data platforms (CDP) serve as a centralized hub of structured and unstructured data about, and in service of, the customer,” states Liz Miller, VP & principal analyst at Constellation Research. “Once believed to be a marketing tool for marketing teams, the real value of a CDP is unlocked when the solution is deployed as a critical underpinning to an enterprise-wide customer experience (CX) strategy that demands an enterprise-wide understanding of the customer. The leaders on this CDP Shortlist were picked out of dozens of CDP solutions as determined by hundreds of client inquiries, and customer/partner conversations.”
Constellation Research advises leaders on leveraging disruptive technologies to achieve business model transformation and streamline business processes. Products and services named to the Constellation ShortList™ meet the threshold criteria for this category as determined through client inquiries, partner conversations, customer references, vendor selection projects, market share, and internal research. The portfolio is updated at least once per year as the analyst team deems necessary based on market conditions.
