Granger Smith Consulting has become the lastest Squirro Partner
Granger Smith Consulting has joined forces with Squirro, a leading context intelligence product and search technology that enables users to get results based on exact interests, without the need to search for them at all. The partnership will see Granger Smith Consulting working with Squirro and QlikTech to provide a natural extension to the data discovery paradigm that has been so successfully created.
One of the most time consuming roles for an information worker is to search the for the information you need, whether that’s struggling with information overload or simply not finding the answer you are looking for. QlikView, the Business Discovery Platform helps identifying patterns in data. However data needs context in order to be really useful; it is context that turns disparate data points into a story. By scanning the open internet, news sites, blogs, social media and feeds and combining this with company internal sources, Squirro filters away the noise and contextualises that data into what you need to hear, directly within QlikView.
Speaking about the new partnership Simon Smith, CEO at Granger Smith Consulting said: “Being able to identify patterns in big data collection is all part of the Business Intelligence system, what a business will find is that the data itself is unable to explain why a change or a dip has occurred. What you need behind the data to truly understand its context and this is what Squirro provides.
“This partnership is great news for our existing clients already using QlikView, as we can now offer that much needed context behind their data. For example, if you notice an unusual variation in a chart, Squirro provides the necessary context to understand it.”
Dr. Dorian Selz, Co-Founder, CEO at Squirro added: “We are delighted to welcome Granger Smith Consulting as one of our partners. Its commitment to its customers to not only gathering their data but helping them contextualise it is one of the main reasons we are now working together.”

Squirro for CRM was presented through a Salesforce integration use case. Squirro seamlessly integrates in Salesforce to deliver real-time context intelligence for your leads, contacts and accounts. It dramatically reduces the time spent on research, thus freeing up time to focus on value-adding activities. The end result is a 15% increase in win rates and up to 15% increase in revenues.
Squirro for for Business Intelligence was presented through a couple of QlikView integrations for Financial Stock Analysis.
Squirro delivers unstructured data simply and in real time to the user in context of their own personal interests and priorities learning and refining that precision as user interactions increase.
Squirro goes beyond that powerful first level, by combining the structured and the unstructured worlds together in harmony. Each insight uncovered in QlikView’s Business Discovery experience is used by Squirro to provide the ‘why’ behind the data.
Ultimately this reduces searching time by 75%, significantly reducing cost and allows for better, more effective decision making where unique context and speed to action delivers better business all round.

Squirro - Your Data in Context
Squirro, My #1 Typefaces Provider
by Maximilien George
As a designer I am very interested in typography and typefaces, but the time I can dedicate to research and stay on top of typographic news is limited.
There are famous information sites like I Love Typography, Typographica and Smashing Magazine delivering fresh news, great feature articles and follow-ups as well as comprehensive fonts reviews. These websites basically allow to discover typefaces and foundries by chance if ever you are following their feeds or social presence. As far as I am concerned, “by chance” is definitely not an option in terms of efficiency and time consumption.
Through these sites I might have discovered the House Industries foundry through the review of one of their releases, which is great, but what were my options to stay on top of their activities? Get the new released font and bookmark the type foundry site? Add one more foundry in my records - one more rss feed, one more Twitter account to follow.
Considering that I have listed over the years dozens of type foundries that produce really and only high-quality fonts, having to follow updates from all of them involves getting huge amount of information and news delivered to me… not to mention that:
- This information may be ‘re-feeded’ and re-tweeted by generic typography-related websites and therefore appear duplicated in my information stream.
- I am not interested in Finnish adventure cycling design educators.
Now Squirro solves all this for me by allowing to partition effortlessly the typography-related information daily delivered to me.
Playing with Source and Topics lets one create several specialised information streams about what I would have called a subject when I was still struggling against information overload… these were the dark times of the pre-Squirro era.
Filters let me take control over the huge amount information from my seeders, so that only a specific kind of thematic information is displayed in a certain Topic; as an example, I don’t want news about releases and discounts made by foundries when I am looking for some inspirational content.
Trigger alerts are sent to my inbox whenever a foundry releases a new typeface!
This is the best part about it: I have now the ability to stay tuned to my favourite type foundries just the way a marketer would follow his leads and accounts using Squirro embedded in his favourite CRM.
This points out that whoever you are, whatever you do - Business Intelligence for a huge international corporation or silk-screen printing business - Squirro will be your trustful and personal digital assistant, as it is for me, amongst other things, my centralized interface for every typography-related information that is relevant to me here and now.
Reduce research time with Squirro!
by Matej Petrik
Do you spend a lot of time researching information? Are you fed up with having to search and research for the sames intelligence?
There are too many sources and not enough time to read through all of them. Let Squirro be your first class research assistant.
As an example, let’s look at this story on DePuy Synthes’ hip replacement technology recall:
This is the official information from the DuPuy Synthes perspective.
Let’s now imagine that for your research you need to get different sides to the story. You have a variety of options to do your research, but there is a great likelihood that many of the results you will get from search engines for example will have little relevance to the actual topic you are interested in (a quick search for DePuy Synthes in different search engines returned on average more than 200’000 results). Reading through all these results be just waste of time. All you need is to filter the noise and read just the relevant material.
Here is a video that shows you how to setup your own research topic in Squirro and filter the noise:
Once you start interacting with the early results from your topic search in Squirro, our Digital Fingerprint Technology will automatically learn which content is relevant for you, and will display it to you as seen in the following video:
As you can see, setting up the noise regulator to lower levels enables you to focus only for relevant results - but in the background Squirro keeps investigating all possible sources. Your research time is no much shorter and the outcome much more relevant!
