Panoply

Panoply, founded in 2015 by Yaniv Leven and Roi Keren, operates as a managed data warehouse platform designed for business intelligence applications. The company emerged from the founders' own frustrations with the complexities of data integration and management. Leven, with a background as a software architect and CTO at companies like NYX Interactive and WIN, and Keren, experienced in product leadership roles, identified a market need for a simpler data infrastructure solution. Their shared experience in handling large-scale data pipelines directly informed the development of Panoply's core product. The company's primary offering is a cloud-based platform that automates the process of collecting, storing, and managing data from various sources, making it accessible for analysis without extensive engineering work.

The platform functions by providing a centralized repository where data from over 150 sources—including popular databases, APIs, and file storage services like Google Ads, Salesforce, and Amazon S3—can be automatically ingested and synced. This automated data pipeline eliminates the need for manual ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, which are often resource-intensive for businesses. Panoply serves a client base ranging from small businesses to data teams within larger enterprises, targeting data analysts, scientists, and engineers who need to quickly stand up a data warehouse for analytics and reporting. The business model is subscription-based, with tiered pricing based on data volume and the level of support required.

In May 2021, Panoply was acquired by SQream, a company specializing in GPU-accelerated data analytics. This acquisition integrated Panoply's user-friendly data warehousing and automation capabilities with SQream's high-performance analytics engine, aiming to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for data professionals. The combined entity seeks to empower organizations to analyze massive datasets efficiently, from initial data collection to generating complex business insights.
