Our read
For marketers the line to watch is CustomerLake. A CDP inside the warehouse means the customer table stays where analysts already work. That makes sense if your data is already there and your team can run it; it makes less sense if you rely on a vendor’s activation connectors. Compare identity matching, consent handling and total cost with your present tool before moving.
