GHENT – September 23 – NGDATA further solidifies its position as a more sophisticated, and intelligent, CDP. After becoming the first-ever CDP vendor to receive the RealCDP Certification by the CDP Institute, NGDATA received more industry acknowledgment. They have just won the “Best Interaction Data Analytics Solution” award in the 2020 MarTech Breakthrough Awards program; they were positioned as a technology leader in the “2020 SPARK Matrix: B2C Customer Data Platforms” category from Quadrant Knowledge Solutions; and finally, they have been nominated for “Customer-Centric IT Company of the Year” for the Data News Awards for Excellence 2020.

With the CDP industry moving forward in the 2020 Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Marketing – away from inflated expectations -, the technology is gaining a lot of traction and attention. The category has exploded the past couple of years with many technology vendors coming from nascent categories and with big suites like Adobe, Microsoft, and Salesforce developing and launching their own CDP solutions.
However, NGDATA drew the CDP Institute’s attention, and was granted the RealCDP Certification. This identifies CDPs that meet a five-point checklist of features needed to provide a complete, unified, and accessible customer database. This made NGDATA’s Intelligent Engagement Platform the first CDP vendor globally to receive such recognition.
And after becoming the World’s first-ever CDP vendor to receive the RealCDP Certification from the CDP Institute, NGDATA continues to build a reputation for being truly data analytics and customer engagement focused. They have just won the “Best Interaction Data Analytics Solution” award in the 2020 MarTech Breakthrough Awards.
NGDATA is also positioned as a technology leader in the “2020 SPARK Matrix: B2C Customer Data Platforms” category from Quadrant Knowledge Solutions and has been nominated for “Customer-Centric IT Company of the Year” for the Data News Awards for Excellence 2020.
These are exciting accolades for NGDATA’s CDP solution – the Intelligent Engagement Platform – that are aligned with their key product features such as Customer DNA and Real-time Interaction Management that allow companies to create individualized experiences and communicate with their customers in real-time, with the correct context, in their channel of choice.
“We at NGDATA thank all of our clients, colleagues, and partners for making this possible. 2020 has been a challenging year for almost every business, so this industry acknowledgment is definitely a nice reward for our team’s efforts.”
Doug Gross, CEO NGDATA
