All You Need to Know About SAP Customer Data Cloud

  • December 29, 2023

Think of all the customer data out there – preferences, interactions, feedback. It’s like a giant puzzle, constantly growing but mostly ignored. Now, consider this all the customer data that we talked about doubles in volume every two years, as highlighted by an MIT study, yet 99% of them remain scattered, unconnected, and underutilized. Against this backdrop of data abundance and underutilization, SAP Customer Data Cloud (SAP CDC) stands out as a master puzzle solver, a vital data management tool for your businesses. It transforms these isolated data fragments into a coherent, dynamic picture of customer engagement and experience.

In this blog, we will embark on a journey to unravel the intricacies of SAP CDC, exploring its core components, key features, and the myriad benefits it offers.

What is SAP Customer Data Cloud?

SAP Customer Data Cloud (SAP CDC) is designed to meet your business needs, especially in managing customer data. It serves as a digital customer identity and access management tool, enabling you to collect, aggregate, and manage customer data across multiple touchpoints, including social media. With SAP CDC, you gain access to various authentication methods for customer registration, ensuring centralized management of data, permissions, and preferences.

SAP’s data management tool excels in creating a unified customer identity and access management environment, helping you better understand and catering to your customers’ interests. Whether it’s through simplifying customer interactions with single sign-on across different applications or integrating social media profiles, SAP CDC enhances your customer experience. It’s the perfect tool for your business if you aim to centralize customer data management efficiently while adhering to privacy standards like GDPR.

Core Components of SAP Customer Data Cloud

 

SAP Customer Data Cloud (SAP CDC) is structured around three fundamental pillars, each playing a unique role in managing and optimizing customer data:

SAP Customer Identity

SAP Customer Identity is at the forefront of protecting customer data. It ensures that information transmitted over the network is secure, eliminating the need to create new accounts using secure registration forms or single sign-on/logout. It allows you to engage with your customers across various communication channels, regardless of the devices used. This pillar is crucial for gathering and securely storing critical user information, which can be leveraged to enhance customer experiences. It acts as a pivot for launching personalized marketing campaigns, delivering customer service, and establishing trust-based relationships with your users​​.

SAP Customer Consent

The Customer Consent component of the SAP CDC focuses on managing user privacy, preferences, and consent in a transparent manner. Tailored to comply with regulations like the GDPR, it enables your businesses to operate within legal frameworks without concern. SAP Customer Consent empowers you to be transparent with your customers, offering them control over their personal data. This means they can view, freeze, or delete their information, helping you to build trust and loyalty among your clients​​.

SAP Customer Profile

SAP Customer Profile empowers you to build comprehensive, real-time customer profiles by centralizing data on identity, consent, behavior, and transactions. This powerful platform streamlines customer interactions across channels and devices, ensuring a secure and seamless journey from login and registration to profile management. SAP Customer Profile goes beyond data collection. It prioritizes transparency, enabling you to clearly communicate how customer data is used and empower them to manage their consent and preferences effortlessly. Lastly, it enables you to leverage customer data to deliver personalized and relevant experiences, offers, and recommendations that increase engagement and loyalty.

CIAM for B2B

CIAM for B2B is designed for managing business-to-business relationships. It combines fine-grained authorization based on smart policies with authentication and identity management. It provides a clear view of your business partners, their members, and your relationships, all managed in an intuitive, visual UI. It’s a powerful tool for businesses to efficiently handle their interactions with other businesses, ensuring transparency and effective management of these critical relationships.

Each of these pillars contributes to a seamless, secure, and efficient customer data management process, ensuring that businesses can deliver personalized and compliant customer experiences. Spadoom’s expertise in SAP solutions positions us perfectly to assist you in leveraging these components to their fullest potential.
