Consumers now expect hyper-personalized interactions across all channels, and B2C organizations need CDP technologies that can unify and activate that customer data to drive business forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDC data suggests a primary driver of CDP adoption in the B2C market is the need to facilitate cohesive, real-time engagement across multiple channels. Historically, CDPs have struggled to find, integrate, access, and use all of the data and metadata from across the enterprise and in third-party data repositories. They\u2019ve also lacked a common platform for personalizing customer experiences across marketing, sales, service, commerce, and other business disciplines.

For B2B use cases in particular, there are higher expectations for CDPs to require advanced data modeling capabilities, opportunity levels for segmentation, hierarchies, scores, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the continued adoption of generative AI, B2B firms are looking to CDPs to have built-in domain-specific data and knowledge to support richer insights and allow them the ability to engage with buyers in more meaningful ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-data-cloud-advantage-nbsp\"><strong>The Data Cloud advantage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce believes these reports recognize how Data Cloud is instrumental in harnessing the power of automation, AI, and real-time data, by integrating with the Salesforce Platform.
