[edit] History
Canalys.com, formerly Canalys Corporation, was founded in 1998 in the United Kingdom as an independent industry analyst house.[4] Canalys, from the Latin meaning ‘channel’[5] emphasizes a core focus of the company’s research. The twin focus areas of convergence and routes to market are regarded by the company as central to all its research activities.[6]
In September 2006, the company opened a second office in Singapore, expanding its presence and research attention in the Asia Pacific region.[7]
