MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 23, 2013) - Gigya, the Connected Consumer Management Suite, today announced that it has been recognized by CRM Magazine as a "Rising Star" in the publication's annual Market Awards. Other winners of CRM Magazine's Market Awards include Salesforce.com, SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and NetSuite. The CRM Rising Star Awards recognize vendors that are paving the way in emerging markets with innovative product launches, bold initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions, or substantial organizational or product-line restructuring.
Gigya was selected as a winner of the award for its industry-leading consumer data management technology. Gigya offers a SaaS platform that connects brands with modern consumers by helping them access, manage and leverage first-party consumer data to increase marketing campaign performance and on-site social engagement.

The company also recently announced the massive expansion of its NEXUS Partner Ecosystem, by adding more than 20 new partners to help clients directly integrate valuable identity and behavior data captured by Gigya's platform into third-party marketing systems like Marketo, ExactTarget and Sailthru.
