Short answer
A composable CDP is a customer data platform approach built on a company's existing data warehouse rather than a separate all-in-one system. It assembles modular tools, such as identity resolution and reverse ETL, to activate warehouse data in marketing channels. Teams choose it for flexibility, data control, and avoiding duplicate copies of customer data.
