Companies that focus on CDP feature function sets usually have a long road to ROI because it takes THREE steps: Step 1 is choosing a vendor, Step 2 implementing the CDP Platform, and Step 3 is having the users learn how to use the system to grow the business. This approach typically results in significant reconfiguration of the initial implementation or, in many cases, with a new understanding of what a CDP really does and how the features and functions are applied, augmenting or switching CDP vendors.
A better approach is to focus on defining all user requirements including User KPIs for sales, marketing, customer service, etc. activities and then implementing a pilot with one User team making sure that the focus is on the activities that drive KPIs. The CDP should deliver all the data required to support KPIs and the features and functions should make the job of growing the business easier. In short, the focus is on “programs, activities and tactical implementation not features and functions.
​
In short, defining the “fit” of a CDP Vendor includes:
​
-
Use Cases and KPIs that drive feature function set requirements,
-
User Readiness that addresses user adoption and application,
-
Tech Readiness which indicates what kind of support your tech team needs for implementation, configuration, and support.
A CDP solution is more than the implementation of a CRM or Ecommerce Solution because this enterprise system supports and ties those solutions and more together.
