Enterprises are on a Quest for a Real-time Single Customer View
The Single Customer View (SCV), also known as Unified Customer View (UCV) or Customer 360 View (C360), has been missing from our marketing lives and has gotten harder to get with the proliferation of martech, adtech, salestech and, tech in general.
With the push towards implementing a personalized omnichannel customer experience, its absence has been sorely missed. This need for this fundamental element is part of what’s driving interest in CDPs. And it’s not just marketing teams who care. Customer service, sales, product, data science, security, and C-level execs are also keenly interested in having comprehensive SCVs updated in real-time.
