\"\"German tech-giant SAP has announced an agreement to acquire\u00a0Gigya, a provider of customer identity and access management (CIAM) solutions for $350M USD.\u00a0Terms of the transaction are not disclosed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gigya is most known for its\u00a0CIAM\u00a0platform, which helps companies build, manage, and secure digital relationships with their customers. Its platform allows companies to manage customers’ profile, preference, opt-in and consent settings, with customers maintaining control of their data at all times. Gigya currently manages 1.3 billion customer identities in order to build identity-driven relationships for its enterprise clients.<\/p>\n

“Gigya brings a wealth of skills and expertise that will significantly enhance the\u00a0SAP\u00ae Hybris Profile\u00a0solution and allow us to take leadership of the emerging customer identity and access management market,” said\u00a0Carsten Thoma<\/span>, president and cofounder of SAP Hybris. “Consumer trust is the main currency to succeed for customer-driven organizations. This is what Gigya is known and recognized for.”<\/p>\n

With this acquisition, SAP Hybris intends to become the first organization to offer a cloud-based data platform enabling companies to profile and convert new customers, gather accurate conclusions from disparate consumer engagement sources and collect data for enhanced consumer choices that are in line with regulations.<\/p>\n

“Combining the data matching and enrichment capabilities of SAP Hybris Profile with Gigya’s\u00a0consent-based identity data\u00a0and access management platform will allow us to\u00a0identify\u00a0consumers across channels\u00a0and\u00a0offer a\u00a0robust\u00a0single consumer profile,” said\u00a0Patrick Salyer<\/span>, CEO of Gigya. “This is a vital step for digitalizing businesses because companies need to be able to draw accurate conclusions seamlessly across all channels, including web, mobile, in-store or connected devices, and the Internet of Things, as well as collect data about consumer preferences. Together we are well positioned to drive more effective marketing, sales and service through data, while the customer stays in control of how much data is shared.”<\/p>\n

Gigya has more than 300 employees and is headquartered in\u00a0Mountain View, California<\/span>. The company’s operations will become part of the SAP Hybris business unit for customer engagement and commerce. The transaction is expected to close in the final quarter of 2017, subject to regulatory approval.<\/p>\n
