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. However, 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 in January 2000.^[7]

Xanalys was then acquired by Compudyne Corporation^[8] and operated, as part of Tiburon Inc. until January 2009.
