GHENT – May 27, 2020 – The CDP Institute certified NGDATA as RealCDP. This certification identifies CDPs that meet a five-point checklist of features needed to provide a complete, unified, accessible customer database. This makes NGDATA’s Intelligent Engagement Platform the first CDP vendor in Europe to receive such recognition.
The CDP Institute certified NGDATA as RealCDP, meaning that our platform meets all qualifications set forth by the Customer Data Platform (CDP) Institute.
“The CDP Institute is pleased to announce that NGDATA’s Intelligent Engagement Platform is now Certified as a RealCDP. Our comprehensive audit found the NGDATA system meets all core CDP certification requirements and supports enhanced CDP capabilities and best practices.”
– David Raab – Founder of the CDP Institute
The RealCDP Certification is an initiative from the CDP Institute, an impartial industry body that helps marketers make the best use of their customer data. The need for such a Certification originates from the growing popularity of CDPs, as some of CDPs on the market fall short of expectations. CDP vendors are granted the Certification by means of an objective audit, indicating whether the required criteria are met.
The performed audit focused on 5 core CDP capabilities:
- ingest data from any source
- capture full detail of ingested data
- store ingested data indefinitely (subject to privacy constraints)
- create unified profiles of identified individuals
- share data with any system that needs it
NGDATA successfully completed the comprehensive evaluation executed by the CDP Institute.
“With NGDATA ticking all of the required boxes, it proves how we provide our users with an all-encompassing CDP that helps them uncover new opportunities every day, and take action always with our customer’s needs at the core of our product.”
– Jurgen Desmedt, Head of Marketing NGDATA
NGDATA’s CEO, Doug Gross, summarizes what this certification means exactly:
