History
[edit]Kinetic Corporation was founded by Ray Schuhmann in 1968 as a commercial photography studio. Kinetic quickly evolved into a full-service photography and graphics business. During the 1970s, Kinetic was nationally known for advertising photography, supported by an on-site full-service photo lab. Company founder Ray Schuhmann has been the official photographer and archivist of the Kentucky Derby for the last 50 years.[2][3]
By the 1990s, Kinetic was developing custom applications for a newly emerging platform: the Internet.
In 2000, Kinetic began its focused transition from photography based services to software and technology based services. Kinetic now derives the majority of its revenue from technology licensing, support and digital services.
In 2011, Kinetic quadrupled its staff to meet the needs of the growing demand for its software solutions.[4]
In April 2013, Kinetic theTechnologyAgency and Netherlands-based Foxiz B.V. teamed up to increase adoption and support in Europe of Kinetic's translation management software and support services.[5]
