Our story

As customers, we wondered why consultants and suppliers just wanted to sell us their “solutions” without hearing about our context. We decided that someday we’d build a company that would put customer understanding at its heart – and that before we would start a project, we would take time to see everything about the client's business, and what made it special.

​In 2001, the opportunity to do that came knocking – and that’s how PANOPTIKA was born. We listen to our clients and help them see everything they need to know to make better decisions, without getting stuck in waves of complexity and ambiguity.
