of a CDP, you\u2019re probably thinking of a more traditional, packaged CDP.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of the necessary CDP functionality (ingestion, cleansing, enrichment, etc.) comes packaged as a ready-made solution optimized for specific use cases\u2014including pre-defined features, tools, and integrations that make implementation fast and straightforward. This helps you get up and running quickly with minimal development effort.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A traditional packaged CDP architecture collects, stores, and processes customer data within its own database, creating a centralized data store for all customer interactions and behaviors. While this approach allows for full control over data quality, it requires data duplication, which results in higher storage costs compared to a composable CDP.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The primary advantage of a packaged CDP is ease of use, including user-friendly interfaces and simplified data management. Drawbacks include:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Inherent rigidity.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Pre-defined structures and limited customization can create frustrating constraints. Marketers often find themselves restricted by predetermined data models and functionality, which may not align perfectly with their unique business needs and specific strategies.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cannot be unbundled.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> This forces companies to pay for features they might not want or use. This can increase costs and lengthen the window for meaningful ROI.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2 id=\"composable-cdps-custom-solutions-that-introduce-complexity\" aria-level=\"2\">Composable CDPs: Custom Solutions that Introduce Complexity\u00a0<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Businesses that want more flexibility in their customer data management often consider a composable CDP.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A composable CDP is a set of disparate, unbundled software components that provide the various pieces of CDP functionality\u2014integrated to meet the specific needs of the business. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, your business may choose to implement one product for data cleansing and another product for data analytics and activation.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Creating a composable CDP requires a microservices architecture, which breaks down software applications into smaller, modular components that can be combined as needed. Also called a zero-copy architecture, these CDPs connect directly to existing data sources (e.g., data lakes or warehouses) without duplicating or moving the data. It queries data in place, avoiding replication and associated storage costs. Composable CDPs are usually managed by the company&#8217;s central IT teams as a universal repository intended to serve multiple purposes.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The primary upside to composable CDPs is the high degree of flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But that flexibility comes with some significant drawbacks to composable CDPs:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unnecessary complexity.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> While the overall marketing technology stack benefits from composability\u2014allowing different functional systems to connect and work together\u2014implementing composability at the component level creates unnecessary complexity and technical debt. This is particularly true for CDPs, where component-level composability can impair critical functions needed for customer data management and activation (like real-time personalization).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Significant technical requirements<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Building and maintaining a composable CDP requires significant technical resources to select and integrate the right components. This process can be both complicated and fraught, especially for businesses with many stakeholders.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Multiple vendor relationships<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Composable CDPs require you to integrate various components from third-party point solutions. This means managing multiple vendor relationships and ensuring that all the different components work together seamlessly. Not only is this time-consuming and resource-intensive, it can also cause data latency which is a big problem when delivering personalized experiences in real time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not all data is suited for living in the data warehouse:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Customer behavioral data, for example, can become stale within minutes, which makes it a poor candidate for warehousing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not dedicated to marketing.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Architectural decisions are often made by IT in consideration of the entire system&#8217;s needs, which may not always prioritize customer experience or marketing program requirements.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2 id=\"modular-cdps-a-hybrid-approach-with-the-best-of-both-worlds\" aria-level=\"2\">Modular CDPs: A Hybrid Approach with the Best of Both Worlds\u00a0<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">David Raab, Founder and CEO of The CDP Institute, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/customerexperiencematrix.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">explains<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that as composable CDPs have caught buyers\u2019 interest over the past couple of years, traditional packaged CDPs quickly caught on to the demand\u2014and began splitting their offerings into modules.
