## History

Squiz is a multinational software company headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Founded in 1998 it currently has over 450 staff spread across offices in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States and Poland. [2] Squiz was founded in 1998 by John-Paul Syriatowicz and Stephen Barker. The company’s first product was MySource Classic which was a page-based tool for building and managing online projects including websites and intranets.[3] Following the successful launch of a number of cloud-based products, Squiz launched the Squiz Suite, which comprised Squiz Matrix, Squiz CMS, Squiz Analytics and Squiz Search. This was seen as the company's first major move into the web engagement management market. [4]

In July 2009, Squiz acquired the search company Funnelback. The Australian-based search firm was originally a spin-off from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Funnelback’s technology is available as an integrated component of the Squiz DXP or separately as Funnelback, a wholly owned subsidiary of Squiz, and continues to trade under its own brand.[5]
