Panopticon Software (now known as Datawatch Designer) was a multi-national data visualization software company specializing in monitoring and analysis of real-time data. The firm was headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with additional offices in New York City, London, Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago. It partnered with several large systems integrators and infrastructure software companies, including SAP, Thomson Reuters, Kx Systems, and One Market Data (OneTick). The company's name is derived from the Greek: 'pan' for all, 'optic' for sight. The company name is derived from the word panopticon which is an architectural concept originally intended to facilitate surveillance of prisons. In August 2013, Panopticon was acquired by Datawatch Corporation.〔 〕 Panopticon Software was a key player in the data visualization sector along with for example Qliktech, Tableau Software and Tibco Software.〔 〕 Its Swedish origins are shared with GapMinder, Qliktech and Spotfire, making Sweden a centre for Information Visualization research and development. It historically specialised in selling Treemapping and Heatmap visualisation software and development tools to clients within the financial services and telecommunications industries. It uses a variety of other visual analysis tools in its products, including Scatter Plots, Dot Plots, Pie Charts, Line Graphs, and Bullet Graph visualizations. The company's products are sometimes deployed as Executive Dashboards that allow managers to interact, explore, monitor and analyze rapidly changing and/or large data sets. Panopticon tools are also often embedded in other enterprise applications using the company's software development kit, which is available for Java, Microsoft .NET and the Windows Presentation Foundation. The Panopticon products are optimized for use with real-time data message buses, complex event processing engines, relational databases, and column-oriented databases.〔 〕〔 〕 and is a regular exhibitor at financial industry events such as Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, and SIA.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 ==History== The company was founded in 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the emerging markets brokerage Brunswick Direct before being spun off as a separate entity in 2002.〔 〕 It later was acquired by the UK based Hamsard Group (Hamsard is now known as Cantono Plc), and became a subsidiary of the Group.〔 〕 In March 2007 its competitor Spotfire undertook negotiations with Hamsard Group, to take full ownership of Panopticon.〔 〕 This potential deal was not completed,〔 〕 Spotfire pulling out of negotiations, and itself subsequently being purchased by Tibco.〔 〕 In May 2007 the company was sold back to its founders as part of a management buyout.〔 〕 In December 2007, the company elected a new board, including Carl Palmstierna, a former partner with Goldman Sachs and John Wattin, previously Chairman of MySQL AB.〔 〕 In December 2007, the company appointed Peter Simpson as Senior Vice President of Research and Development.
