About Us Photon is the largest global provider of Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences (C2C-UX). Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences (C2C-UX) are cross-platform, multichannel solutions that include mobile, social, web, kiosk, and in-store consumer touchpoints. Innovative global organizations use C2C-UX to create a sustainable competitive advantage that leverages the scale and cost efficiency of a Central IT cloud platform with the long tail of app developer and business channels that drive exponential user and revenue growth. Photon is the largest provider of C2C-UX in market share with over 22% of the Fortune 100 served, largest in dedicated mobile engineers with over 1500 across US, India and Indonesia, and largest in consumer touchpoints with over 60 million. Photon is growing aggressively with sales growth (from March 2009 to today) of 65% year over year, profit growth over the same period at 81% and a Customer Base exceeding 700 customers. The challenge of C2C-UX is in crossing the deep divide between the IT department's Enterprise Cloud technology and the Marketing department's potentially explosive mix of Global, Mobile, Social, Local, and Viral creative designs. Photon bridges this gap by bringing the creative design capabilities of an agency but with a scalable Global IT services capability. As the leading company in this emerging space, Photon is uniquely able to guide its customers from ideation to deployment and beyond.
