LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Appriss Inc., a leading provider of technology, data, and analytics solutions, today announced the acquisition of Typhoon Data, a top provider of healthcare sanctions and credentialing solutions.
“Appriss is committed to delivering the nation’s leading data and analytics platform to mitigate person-based risk in the workplace and in our communities,” said Krishnan Sastry, CEO of Appriss Inc. “Typhoon Data provides unique capabilities to help identify and mitigate risks associated with the healthcare industry, which represents nearly 14% of our nation’s workforce.”
Typhoon Data will become part of the Appriss Insights data platform, delivering crucial risk-related information to the healthcare industry and further enhancing Appriss’ industry-leading data solutions.
