“We’ve come a long way from ‘People who bought this,
also bought that.’…The CDP makes it possible for
enterprises to scale data-driven customer interactions
in real time…It is an industry-standard concept.”

What is a B2B CDP?

“B2B CDPs typically consist of a
database that functions as a
prepackaged data lake, advanced
data integration and management
capabilities to build unified customer
profiles, and deep analytics for
segmentation and reporting.”

B2B CDPs: Initial use cases and benefits
Integrating data silos
B2B CDPs collect data from the multiplying systems of insight and engagement in the
marketing technology (martech) and sales technology (salestech) ecosystem to create unified
customer profiles. And they are moving marketers closer to creating that single source of truth
that organizations have been chasing for decades.
Improving data
quality
Unifying customer data in a central persistent repository improves the effectiveness of B2B
CDPs' fundamental data hygiene practices (e.g., deduping, cleansing, and normalization). This
is also more efficient than trying to optimize each silo.
Connecting
anonymous and
known behavior
Most B2B CDPs can gather behavioral data on an anonymous prospect and consolidate it into
one known profile when a buyer finally reveals her identity.
Providing a more
comprehensive view
of buyer journeys
Occupying a position at the center of the martech stack — ingesting data from and feeding
data to the user's systems of insights and engagement — allows B2B CDPs to create a holistic
picture of buyer journeys and enables more comprehensive and accurate analysis, reporting,
and attribution

Five Characteristics of the Ideal B2B CDP
Data rich
Augmentation and enrichment are fundamental requirements for successful B2B marketing and sales. B2B
CDPs that support a wide variety of familiar third-party data types (e.g., firmographic, demographic,
behavioral/intent, and technographics) can offer significant cost and operational advantages over solutions that
do not.
Channel agnostic
The ideal B2B CDP provides B2B marketers with maximum flexibility through activation across a wide variety of
channels with numerous options for each channel.
Accessible to marketers
A big part of the appeal of packaged data management solutions like CDPs to B2B companies is that many do
not have strong data management or analytics skills or resources. The ideal B2B CDP should provide an intuitive
interface for typical marketing users at midmarket companies and advanced tooling for data management and
insights professionals at larger enterprises.
Robust reporting
CDPs with an enterprise orientation provide basic (if any) reporting and analytics capabilities because their
customers export data from the CDP to purpose-built business intelligence tools for in-depth analysis by a team
of data scientists. Forrester believes the ideal B2B CDP should also provide robust out-of-the-box reporting and
analytics capabilities to meet the needs of the many B2B marketers without that option.
B2B profiles
Aggregating data, tracking behavior, and generating insights at the account and contact level have been table
stakes in the B2B martech stack for years. And doing all of it at the buying team level is rapidly becoming the
norm. Most CDPs with a B2C orientation lack this B2B-specific functionality.
