“Every day, the largest brands in the world trust Janrain to provide secure stewardship of their customer identities,” said Jim Kaskade, CEO of Janrain. “Following our latest round of funding in Q4 2015, we continue to experience notable growth and expansion. We are well positioned in the marketplace to scale Janrain to its maximum potential.”
Global Expansion
The company increased its global footprint, entering the Latin American market in March to become the first CIAM platform to provide reach into the region. Since 2002, Janrain has successfully entered the Chinese, European and Australian markets and now serves clients in 65 countries. The company's success was recognized in 2015 when it was named by Inc. as one of the Inc. 5000 fastest growing private companies in the nation following a three–year sales growth of 294%.
Product Innovation and Strategic Alliances
Continuing its rich tradition of product innovation, Janrain introduced Janrain Segmentsâ„¢ in Q1 2016, a new product that offers companies unparalleled segmentation data with behavior–rich targeting to improve personalized marketing efforts.
