Published: September 17, 2019

Oracle has released updates to CX Unity, the company’s enterprise-class customer data management platform, as well as new additions and updates to its data-driven CX Cloud, which is pre-integrated with the CX Unity platform.

Designed to help teams develop personalized customer interactions, the enhanced CX Unity tool combines customer data with machine learning to enable a tailored experience where teams have an optimal picture of the customer via online, offline and third-party data sources on one platform.

Other features of the updated CX Unity platform include:

  • Connectivity to Oracle’s Data Management Platform Oracle BlueKai;
  • Integration with Oracle’s ID Graph solutions, which combines disparate data sources, forming a singular profile of the customer; and
  • Personalized interactions based on customer preference.

“With CX Unity, organizations have a unified view of customers by combining online and offline data from across the customer journey that provides a unified and rich view of the customer to personalize every experience — from unknown to known, from marketing to service,” said Des Cahill, VP of Oracle CX Cloud, in a statement to Demand Gen Report. “At Oracle, we firmly believe that this level of customer intelligence is only achievable by securely managing customer data in real-time and at scale.”
