Acxiom Prospecting Data Import
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform provides support for ingesting data from a data partner application. Support for data and identity partners includes Acxiom Prospecting Data Import.
Acxiom’s Prospecting Data Import for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Real-Time Customer Data Platform is a process for delivering the most productive prospect audiences possible. Acxiom takes Real-Time CDP first-party data via a secure export and runs that data through an award-winning hygiene and identity resolution system. A data file that can be utilized as a suppression list is produced. This data file is then matched against the Acxiom Global database, which enables the prospect lists to be customized for import.
You can use the Acxiom source to retrieve and map responses from the Acxiom prospect service using Amazon S3 as a drop point.
Read the document below for information on how you can set up your Acxiom Prospecting Data Import source account.
