Crownpeak, a leading digital experience platform (DXP), announced the acquisition of ilumino, a digital accessibility services and consulting firm. The acquisition reinforces an existing two-year partnership with ilumino, expanding Crownpeak’s automated accessibility scanning technology with ilumino’s subject matter expertise in digital accessibility and usability. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
More than one billion people worldwide live with some form of visual, auditory, mobility, or cognitive disability, and many organizations are recognizing the need to deliver digital experiences that are inclusive of all users. The Crownpeak/ilumino partnership already serves business services, insurance, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) leaders operating in multiple countries.
“With the combination of Crownpeak and ilumino, our customers have access to richer and more results-driven capabilities to address accessibility demands,” said Jonah Paransky, CEO of Crownpeak. “In addition, our valued partners can use our acquired accessibility strength to complement their existing accessibility practices or deploy it as an outsourced component – from project management to implementation and remediation fulfillment.”
“We founded ilumino to help millions of people and the world’s largest brands provide a more meaningful, accessible, and independent digital experience,” said Mark Reardon, CEO and Co-Founder of ilumino. “Incorporating accessibility practices can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. By formally joining Crownpeak as one company, we can make a broader impact on the market. We’re excited about the greater possibilities of making a bigger difference for our customers, partners, and their end users.”
Crownpeak’s accessibility solutions enable enterprises to deliver consistent, inclusive, and accessible digital experiences across all digital touchpoints – including web, mobile apps, and software. Leveraging the enterprise and global expertise of ilumino, Crownpeak will advance its accessibility solution, systematically and continuously scaling to deliver both innovative technologies and best-in-class managed services.
