Xanalys Limited is an independent software company founded in January 2009 when the Analytics and Investigative Management division of Tiburon Inc. was acquired by a group of former Xanalys management and engineering staff based in the UK[1]. Various intellectual property and contracts relating to investigation and analysis software tools were acquired. Xanalys now markets, develops and supports a range of software tools including PowerCase[2], Link Explorer[3] and PowerIndexer[4].
The original versions of the software tools were developed by the UK software company Harlequin, although at that time Link Explorer was known as Watson[5], whilst Indexer has been known as PowerIndexer, Quenza and Hievat. In 1999 Harlequin was acquired by Global Graphics primarily for its PostScript technologies[6]. Global Graphics then spun off the LispWorks and HIntS (Harlequin Intelligence Systems) aspects of the business into the first Xanalys Limited[7]. Xanalys was then acquired by Compudyne Corporation[8] and operated as part of Tiburon Inc. until January 2009.
