I know you’d love more information about Adobe’s CDP-like Open Database Initiative, Dear Reader, but their press release has too little new information to justify a newsletter item. So I’ll give you some news about real CDP vendors instead, starting with a report that Leadspace has added the ability to target digital ads based on its lead scores and collected data.

Contentstack is a cross-channel content management system, not a CDP. But it does rely on unified customer data for personalization. In fact, it just launched prebuilt integrations for major AI platforms including Amazon, Google, IBM and Salesforce that draw on that data. It’s an interesting illustration of how much easier integration has become in recent years – which in turn shows the reduced grip that unified product suites like Salesforce have on their clients.

Salesforce has reversed course on its bid to acquire data management and integration platform Informatica a source has told Reuters. Informatica itself said that it is not in talks to be acquired. Salesforce stocks rose on this latest news while Informatica’s fell.
