#### 

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](https://learning.sitecore.com/pathway/boxever-training) 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](https://learning.sitecore.com/exam/boxever-advanced-certification) certification:

#### How to get access to Sandbox?

Sitecore provides the [Sandbox environment](https://app.boxever.com), where you can practice and work.

If your organization doesn`t have yet sandbox account, you can get access by completing these three easy steps:

1. Complete the [Boxever training course](https://learning.sitecore.com/pathway/boxever-training) form Sitecore eLearning portal.
2. Pass [Boxever End User certification](https://learning.sitecore.com/exam/boxever-advanced-certification) and receive a certificate of completion.
3. Send email to [PartnerEnablement@sitecore.com](mailto:PartnerEnablement@sitecore.com) mailbox with your attached certificate (or link) to ask about access to Boxever sandbox environment.
