WHITE PAPER

What is a walled garden?

A walled garden is a colloquial term for a closed ecosystem in which all operations are controlled by the ecosystem operator.

The term was coined by John Malone, founder of the telecom company Tele-Communications, Inc., which was acquired by AT&T in the late 90s. It was a simple comparison between a closed virtual environment and an actual walled garden, offering various attractions that are only accessible by entering the environment through the designated entry point.

Customers will often gravitate towards one or more third-party apps, which minimizes engagement with your proprietary apps and platform. To optimize customer engagement with your platform, you need to be able to access and interpret third-party app user data.
