CDPs, or Customer Data Platforms, were considered innovative new tech a few years back. But according to Gartner’s latest Hype Cycle, which focused on evaluating CDPs for the first time, the technology is less appealing to the marketing industry today. A piece in AdExchanger looks at Gartner’s latest evaluation of the hype.
