A customer data and experience platform (CDXP) is a CDP plus the activation layer: a unified customer-data foundation combined with journeys, personalization, and campaign execution built on top.

Also known as
CDXP; customer data and experience platform
Where a pure CDP unifies data and hands it to other tools to act on, a CDXP also decides and delivers. Bloomreach Engagement sits in this category: the same platform holds the profiles and runs the campaigns.
In practice
The distinction matters when buying. If you only need to unify and export data, a CDP is enough; if you want one platform to unify and act, you are shopping for a CDXP. Owning a CDXP but using only its data layer is a common way to overpay and underuse the platform.
