Digital Experience Platforms or DXP, User Experience Platform or UXP, Customer Experience Platform or CXP – you have probably heard some or all of these terms flying around or being thrown at you by vendors, industry literature, or even your CxO or Digital Strategist in internal meetings, and wondered what they are about. And more importantly, are these simply buzzwords and nothing has materially changed, or whether there is a market/technology shift underway?
