The company has since developed into a growing software product business with a variety of channels to market for their leading business improvement product portfolio, comprising: WITNESS; L-SIM; Px-Sim; and PRISM. Lanner works with partners such as IBM and IDS Scheer and end users include the likes of Ford, British Nuclear Group, UK Home Office, US Military, BAE, Nissan, Shell and GSK.
