Leveraging customer data is essential for improving customer experiences and creating competitive advantage. However, many organizations struggle with fragmented data infrastructure, limited flexibility, and high costs associated with traditional customer data platforms (CDPs).

In this fireside chat, Steven Collings, Data Platform Engineering Lead at Zoopla, and Eric Omwega, Chief Operating Officer at RudderStack, will discuss how Zoopla tackled these challenges by adopting a warehouse-native approach to customer data with RudderStack.

Steven will share insights into Zoopla's journey, including:
