CDP & personalization services
Turn customer data into more relevant experiences without making personalization harder to operate.
XCentium helps organizations implement and improve customer data platforms (CDPs) and personalization capabilities across CMS, DXP, commerce, and connected systems. Our work spans customer profiles, audiences, content targeting, experimentation, and measurement, helping teams put customer data to use in relevant digital experiences.
Turn customer data into something the experience can use
Organizations often have customer data across analytics, CRM, commerce, marketing, service, and digital platforms but still struggle to use it consistently.
Effective personalization needs clear use cases, reliable data, useful audiences, relevant content, and measurement. Some organizations can start with capabilities already available in their CMS or DXP; others need a CDP to unify data and activate audiences across systems.
We help organizations connect those pieces so customer data can become useful audience intelligence and relevant digital experiences.

Frequently asked questions
A customer data platform (CDP) brings together customer and behavioral data from multiple sources to create profiles and audiences that can be used by other systems. Depending on the platform, CDPs can support identity resolution, segmentation, activation, analytics, and personalization.
XCentium provides CDP and personalization services across strategy, use-case planning, CDP architecture and integration, customer profiles and identity, audience segmentation, personalization implementation, experimentation, measurement, governance, and optimization. We can build on existing CMS or DXP capabilities or connect a CDP with the systems that deliver the experience.
A CRM primarily supports customer and account relationships and business workflows such as sales and service. A CDP is generally focused on bringing together customer and behavioral data from multiple systems and making it available for audiences, analysis, and activation. The two can work together.
Not always. Personalization capabilities in an existing CMS or DXP can use visitor behavior, audience rules, and connected data to tailor experiences. A CDP becomes useful when you need to unify customer data, resolve identities, and coordinate audiences across multiple systems.
Useful personalization data can include customer attributes, account information, behavioral activity, transactions, product interests, content engagement, lifecycle stage, location, preferences, or contextual information. The data used should be appropriate to the use case and governed according to relevant privacy and consent requirements.
Relevant platforms include Sitecore, Optimizely, Salesforce, Contentstack, Contentful, Umbraco, and Squiz. Customer data capabilities include Sitecore Audience & Insights, Optimizely Data Platform, Salesforce Data 360, and Contentstack Data Cloud with Lytics. Personalization can use Sitecore and Optimizely capabilities, Salesforce Personalization, Contentstack Personalize, Contentful Personalization, Umbraco Engage, and Squiz DXP personalization. These products serve different roles: some unify customer data, while others apply audience rules, test content, or tailor experiences. We connect the capabilities needed for the use case.
Put customer data to work in the experience
If customer data is available but difficult to activate, we can help connect audiences, content, technology, and measurement around practical personalization use cases.
