Gigya is Newest Member of Industry Standards Group

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA --(Marketwired - July 13, 2017) - Gigya today announced its membership in Align Biopharma™ , an industry technology standards group that includes 23 leading biopharma companies and technology and service providers. The group is creating and implementing open technology standards that make it easier for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to connect digitally with life sciences companies. Gigya is one of the latest members of Align Biopharma, joining 14 other new member companies today.

As the number of new drugs increases so does the amount of tailored information that doctors require. The use of digital content and channels is growing among healthcare professionals, with technology providing significant potential for life sciences to inform HCPs of new treatments faster and easier.

"The benefits of Align Biopharma's standards will extend beyond health care providers and pharmaceutical companies to patients, providing them a clear and uniform process to give consent for use of their health care data, while protecting their privacy and securing their personal information," said Eyal Magen, chief strategy officer of Gigya. "Because of our long experience in managing a platform that now holds 1.3 billion customer identities and serves global brands, including leading healthcare organizations, Gigya is ready to make a significant contribution to this important effort."

"The industry's response to Align Biopharma has been extremely positive," said Henry Levy, president of Align Biopharma. "Members such as Gigya will play an important role in transforming the healthcare professional experience and getting them the timely treatment information they need."
