"Today's contemporary women want to explore the latest fashions, wherever they are.
They're looking for a stylish and personalized brand experience where they can find
inspiration, discover trends and share fashion with their friends," said Dusty Hill,
President at Sherri Hill. "Ixonos and Gigya have shown us how we can embrace mobility to
drive our business in the digital era. We're confident they can deliver an omnichannel
customer experience reflective of our brand-one that will build customer loyalty and
support our retailers."
The collaboration between Ixonos, Gigya and Sherri Hill will leverage data-driven
strategies, user-centric design and cloud-based marketing technology to address the high
expectations of millennial shoppers. Ixonos has already created the conceptual design
based on extensive research and insight from Sherri Hill. Gigya's powerful customer
identity and access management (CIAM) and loyalty solutions will be incorporated to create
a unique user experience for Sherri Hill's customers.
"Ixonos' goal is to truly connect the digital and physical dress shopping experiences
into a unified, cohesive journey," said Joseph Oliver, Vice President and GM, Americas at
Ixonos. "Our strategic partnership with Gigya empowers us to take the entire customer life
cycle into consideration to create personalized experiences centered around customer
identity, audience profiles and marketing technology. This means full business design
capability for Sherri Hill, now and into the future."
"The more a brand knows about its customers, the more it is able to personalize the
customer experience," said Patrick McCue, Gigya's SVP of Global Channels & Alliances.
"Gigya's customer identity management platform will help Sherri Hill develop an
outstanding relationship with its customers by getting to the heart of what they truly
care about with first-party, permission-based identity data. Our collaboration with Ixonos
will integrate data with design to drive real business value for Sherri Hill."

working with Ixonos. The company has designed and developed forward-thinking solutions for
some of the world's most successful international brands, having recently won Best of Show
at CES for HP "Sprout" and CES Innovation of the Year for Samsung Tab S 8.4 for 'Super
