Panopticon Software, the leading provider of visual data analysis software for real-time, CEP and historical time series data, today announced 112% bookings growth for 2012, leveraging the unique capabilities of its products and the company’s domain expertise to capitalize on explosive growth in market demand for real-time visualization software.
Company executives cite several important decisions that have supported this growth, including Panopticon's embrace of HTML5 technologies for mobile deployments of its interactive analytical dashboards, and support for several new data sources, including all major CEP engines, message buses, OData sources, and databases. In Q3 2012, Panopticon released Panopticon 6, combining all of the benefits of its enterprise product with its unique Rapid Development Kit, which allows clients to embed Panopticon’s OLAP-enabled visualization tools into their own applications.

Willem De Geer, Panopticon's CEO, commented, "We had ambitious goals for 2012, and planned to build upon the momentum we began in 2011 with the release of our 5th generation product. Our sales team, working with our strategic partners, did an outstanding job of helping customers understand the value of using real-time data visualization in their applications, particularly in capital markets. Our development and consulting team delivered something special with Panopticon 6, which began shipping in Q3, and was rapidly adopted by all of our major clients. It’s no wonder that firms such as JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, Citigroup, and Citadel have validated Panopticon as their preferred solution for visualizing real time data. In fact, 12 of the 15 largest financial institutions in the world are now Panopticon clients."
