Data
Adobe Real-Time CDP
Unified profiles activated to every downstream destination. Adobe Real-Time CDP ingests first-party data, resolves it into governed profiles and activates audiences to advertising, messaging and personalization destinations with consent enforced.
Overview
Adobe Real-Time CDP, explained by implementers
Adobe Real-Time CDP sits in the data layer of Adobe Experience Cloud. Adobe Real-Time CDP ingests first-party data, resolves it into governed profiles and activates audiences to advertising, messaging and personalization destinations with consent enforced. For most organizations the question is not whether the product is capable — it demonstrably is — but whether the implementation will be shaped around their data, teams and governance well enough to realize that capability.
In practice, the value of Real-Time CDP concentrates in a few load-bearing capabilities: streaming and batch ingestion into xdm; identity graph and real-time customer profile; audience composition and federated segmentation. Getting these configured correctly in the first ninety days determines most of what the platform returns over its license term — retrofitting foundations later costs multiples of doing them right initially.
As an Adobe Gold Partner, DWAO delivers Real-Time CDP end to end: architecture and solution design, implementation by certified specialists, integration with the systems that hold your data, and the enablement that moves your team from dependent to self-sufficient. The sections below cover what the product does, how we implement it, what drives its cost and how it connects to the rest of your stack.
If you are evaluating an Adobe Real-Time CDP Partner, weigh delivery evidence over badge count: certified consultants who work in the product daily, reference implementations in your industry, and a support model that continues past go-live. That is the standard DWAO's Real-Time CDP practice is built to meet — an Adobe Real-Time CDP Partner with teams in five countries and a named team you meet before any contract is signed.

Real-Time CDP — frequently asked questions
What is Adobe Real-Time CDP used for?
Adobe Real-Time CDP ingests first-party data, resolves it into governed profiles and activates audiences to advertising, messaging and personalization destinations with consent enforced. Typical buyers are organizations that have outgrown lighter-weight tools and need streaming and batch ingestion into xdm with enterprise governance.
How long does a Real-Time CDP implementation take?
A focused first release typically lands in eight to sixteen weeks depending on integration count and data readiness — the honest variable is the state of your source data and identity setup, which we assess in the first two weeks and reflect in a timeline you can hold us to.
What does Real-Time CDP cost?
Licensing is negotiated with Adobe per organization; the main drivers are addressable and engageable profile counts and volume of data ingested and retained. Implementation is scoped separately. Our pricing guidance page explains every cost driver, and a free scoping call gets you a realistic budget range for your situation.
Does Real-Time CDP integrate with the rest of Adobe Experience Cloud?
Yes — natively. Real-Time CDP shares data and audiences with the other Experience Cloud products through supported connectors rather than custom middleware, which is where much of its enterprise value comes from. Our integration guides cover each pairing's architecture and data flow.
