About
Toucan Toco is an embedded analytics platform founded in 2014 and headquartered in Paris, France. The company was founded by Charles Miglietti and Matthieu Beucher to help organizations embed data storytelling experiences inside their business applications, client portals, and digital products. Toucan Toco's design philosophy centers on making data understandable to non-technical end users through guided, narrative-style data presentations — "data stories" — rather than raw dashboards that require users to know what to look for and how to interpret metrics.\n\nToucan Toco raised over €20 million in funding from investors including Partech, Bpifrance, and XAnge. Its platform provides a white-label embedded analytics layer that ISVs, SaaS companies, and enterprises can integrate into their own products with full branding and customization. Toucan's no-code story builder allows non-technical teams to create interactive data stories by connecting to data sources, defining charts and KPIs, and adding narrative annotations and context — producing analytics applications that guide users through the data rather than leaving them to explore raw numbers. The platform is optimized for mobile and tablet consumption, recognizing that many business users interact with analytics on mobile devices.\n\nToucan Toco's embedded analytics positioning targets SaaS vendors that want to add analytics value to their product without building a BI engine from scratch, and enterprises that want to deliver data experiences to external customers or field teams who are not data professionals. The company's French roots, GDPR-compliant architecture, and European customer base make it a leading embedded analytics vendor in the European market alongside global competitors like Sigma Computing and Qlik.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
