SAP Customer Data Platform vs. Data 360 (formerly Salesforce Data Cloud)

SAP Customer Data Platform (CDP) is an enterprise-grade, cloud-native data management platform designed to unify customer data scattered across the front office (marketing, sales) and the back office (ERP, supply chain). By integrating transactional and operational data from SAP S/4HANA with interaction data, CDP creates a single, unified, and real-time customer profile.

Data 360 is the system of context for the Agentic Enterprise. Natively built on the Salesforce platform, it connects every source of data you have—from data lakes to warehouses—creating a unified view of your business that your teams and AI agents can act on. And with Zero Copy capabilities, you get all of this without the cost or complexity of moving a single byte of data. Instead of relying on outdated information, your employees and AI agents operate from a complete, real-time understanding of your business exactly when it’s needed.
