Adobe Experience Platform and Software AG's webMethods Integration and API management services will all be integrated into a centralised and actionable real-time customer profile.
This brings together customer data from multiple enterprise systems, eliminating data siloes.
Adobe Experience Platform stitches together data from across the enterprise, enabling real-time customer profiles that are fueled by Adobe Sensei artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
