Big Squid and Pomerol Partners join together in a new partnership

Pomerol Partners is now a proud partner of Big Squid, a company focused on maximizing data and analytics investments. Big Squid brings the power of machine learning and AI to business decision makers and unlocks the hidden value of a company’s data. The Kraken platform, built by Big Squid, automates the machine learning model deployment process, all while leveraging an already existing analytics team and technology.

As an official Qlik partner, Pomerol Partners anticipates many customer successes stemming from using Big Squid’s Kraken platform, which tightly integrates automated machine learning with existing Qlik implementations. Specifically, Big Squid MLKits (Machine Learning Kits) are single use-case Qlik Sense apps for non-data scientists that demonstrate the potential of adding predictive workflow and decision making. MLKits range from customer and employee retention, to sales forecasting and lifetime value, and beyond.

Big Squid and Kraken allow multiple scenario analyses, as well as the opportunity to operationalize machine learning. Operationalizing machine learning includes enhancing existing BI visualizations with more proactive and prescriptive insights. Kraken allows BI insights to be forward-looking and actionable. Kraken enables the rollout of interactive and action-based decision tools, and allows users to provide tightly defined “what-if” tools or other insights based on next-generation AI.

Pomerol Partners’ current and future clients will benefit greatly from MLKits and operationalizing machine learning. The uncertainty and complexity of machine learning and predictive forecasting is removed, allowing users to make smarter decisions faster. Pomerol Partners looks forward to working with Big Squid in speeding up clients’ analytics value journeys and optimizing business challenge outcomes.
