Company history

Lanner Group formed in 1996 after completing a Management Buyout from AT&T Istel;

IBM PC in 1986[2] and has been revised frequently since.[2][11][12] The latest version of Lanner's Witness was released in summer 2017.[13][14]

The applications of the FORTRAN 77 / WITNESS interface have been subject to further academic

Research and Development.[15][16] Since 1985 the company has supported its simulation software academic program. Over 100 universities worldwide have been involved since the program began.[17]

Lanner Group continued to develop the WITNESS platform further in parallel to developing its mainstay product of the same name, and since 2002 has introduced new systems providing niche simulation packages for police and healthcare organisations called PRISM and PX-Sim respectively.

BPA products.[21]

From 1996 to 2010 the company's main investor was private equity company 3i. On 18 March 2010 Lanner Group announced that it had secured a £3 million new investment deal with NVM Private Equity replacing 3i.[22] 3i continues to retain an interest in Lanner Group as a small minority investor.[4]
