History
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,{{cite web|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Harlequin+Harnesses+Power+of+Software+in+Battle+Against+Fraud.-a019798454 |title=Harlequin Harnesses Power of Software in Battle Against Fraud. - Free Online Library |publisher=Thefreelibrary.com |date=1997-09-30 |access-date=2013-08-13}} whilst Indexer has been known as PowerIndexer, Quenza and Hievat.
In 1999, Harlequin was acquired by Global Graphics primarily for its PostScript technologies.{{cite web|url=http://www.globalgraphics.com/news/ggpress.nsf/GGRVPressReleasesPublished/01C4C0A9981A0D00802568E1005745B5 |title=Latest news from Global Graphics Software |publisher=Globalgraphics.com |access-date=2013-08-13}} Global Graphics then spun off the LispWorks and HIntS (Harlequin Intelligence Systems) aspects of the business into the first Xanalys Limited in January 2000.[http://www.globalgraphics.com/pdfs/investors/financial_profile_en.pdf] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100705084944/http://www.globalgraphics.com/pdfs/investors/financial_profile_en.pdf|date=July 5, 2010}}
Xanalys was then acquired by Compudyne Corporation{{cite web|url=http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=62198&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=757976& |title=CompuDyne Corporation - Investor Relations - News Release |publisher=Phx.corporate-ir.net |date=2005-09-19 |access-date=2013-08-13}} and operated, as part of Tiburon Inc. until January 2009.
