What SAP Customer Data Platform is

SAP Customer Data Platform brings together customer information to support real-time profiles and personalized engagement across an enterprise. It associates relationships with individuals or accounts for both B2B and B2C use cases, and can activate profile data customers share directly with permission. Identity and purpose data inform how the platform orchestrates customer data with engagement systems according to privacy permissions.

The platform supports ongoing attribute calculations for segmentation and real-time decisions, and uses generative AI to enrich customer insights and operational intelligence. SAP describes a native ERP connection and a common data model integrating ERP, supply chain management and other cloud solutions. Integration options include prebuilt or custom connectors, APIs and batch ingestion. Legacy data can be imported from Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Storage or SFTP. REST APIs can ingest, query or delete customer data and audit administrative operations and updates; SAP recommends bearer-token authentication with a unique RSA key and a short-lived one-time token.

The product is a multitenant software-as-a-service solution available through web and API, with cloud deployment and high availability. SAP is headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, and was founded in 1972. The Customer Data Platform plan costs $1.15 a month per Capacity Unit, billed monthly, with a 3-to-36-month contract and auto-renewal. Pricing depends on data objects in and out, storage and insight configuration objects; there is no free plan.
