The CDP Institute has released a point-by-point comparison of 24 CDP products. The project is intended to help CDP buyers find the right products and to reduce confusion about how CDPs differ from other types of systems.

Data integration specialist SnapLogic has also announced its latest release, including AI-powered recommendations to help build integration pipelines and, as it happens, Reltio integration. But I’m more intrigued by an announcement from Accenture of a service to train and test new AI systems. Sign of the times and all that. Amazingly, they don’t claim to use AI as part of the process.

CDP and marketing cloud vendor Zeta Global announced an agreement to purchase LiveIntent, which helps companies do email-based advertising.  The deal will let Zeta expand its identity graph, enter the publisher monetization business, and accelerate its mobile and retail media products.  Zeta will pay $77.5 million in cash and $172.5 million in common stock, with potential for additional payments based on performance.
