Dive into Sitecore CDP - Introduction

Sergey Baranov on September 26, 2021

I hope, all of you heard that Sitecore recently acquired Boxever or how it is called now - Sitecore Customer Data Platform.

This is a marketer-focused digital optimization solution that is a big step forward in Sitecore’s move to SaaS (Software as a service modeling).

This is new in the Sitecore space and some important keypoints of Sitecore CDP can be not so clear for you, because some of them don`t have public implemented examples.

In this series of articles, I will share my experience with CPD and try to cover all main parts of this platform.

 

How to start working with it, if you don`t have experience?

First of all, Sitecore provides interactive training course that is free of charge, and this is a good point to start. Also, after completing this training course, you can pass Boxever End User certification:

 

Where to find documentation?
