Sigma: A spreadsheet-friendly cloud-native analytics platform that provides business users with immediate access to extract insights from their cloud data warehouse

Imagine having access to cloud data that is truly useful, free from the complexity that traditional business intelligence demands. That is the reality of Sigma. Sigma is a cloud analytics tool that provides business users with immediate access to explore and extract insights from their cloud data warehouse through a familiar spreadsheet interface. To examine billions of rows, enhance them with fresh data, or do real-time "what if" analysis on all data, no coding or specialized skills are needed. Sigma thinks analytics are overly complicated. They think they were born into a time when analysis was expected to be done by specialists rather than business people, when data quantities were tiny, and when the world changed more slowly.

Sigma is designed for the modern world, where business people perform their own analysis, where analytics demands are dynamic and ever-changing, and where all accessible data is used. Sigma simplifies analysis that was previously thought to be difficult and makes analysis that was thought to be impossible attainable. In many situations, legacy analytics companies have been in the business for decades. Despite having fantastic features, they have all had a difficult time keeping up with the cloud's explosive customer uptake. Furthermore, vast amounts of data that were formerly manageable on-premises are now housed in the cloud. In addition to having a significant level of technical debt, legacy companies could also need to maintain on-premise deployments.

Sigma was designed from the ground up with a recognizable interface and large data volumes in mind, as well as the cloud. They offer scalable performance even in billion-row use cases by fully utilizing data warehouses and contemporary cloud-design ideas.

With Sigma, clients can measure and analyze data like average time on page, bounce rate, and cost per customer acquisition by analyzing every customer touch point.

Grasping the requirements and desires of customers is the first step toward having a comprehensive grasp of a company’s retail analytics. Sigma's real-time data access enables companies to make data-driven decisions that prioritize their customers. Analysts may examine inventory data in real time with Sigma, free from the constraints of conventional spreadsheets.

Financial services

Sigma provides data-driven insights to the companies driving the world economy, from the biggest banks in the world to the private equity firms financing the newest inventions. Companies cannot afford to compromise on speed, reliability, or scale in a world where enterprises depend on immediate connections, almost flawless security, and total control over their data. With the help of Sigma, hundreds of teams just like theirs have been able to transition from antiquated Excel-based data tools and high-risk export-focused workflows to a 100% in-the-cloud, secure, real-time financial data practice. This is true whether their organization is a leading bank modernizing their data practice or an investment firm revolutionizing finance.

Business analyst

Analysts are the people closest to the company, but they frequently don't have enough time to devote to higher-value projects because of the backlog of reports. Because they are slow, constrictive, and necessitate ongoing end-user training in order to reach self-service, legacy BI solutions further exacerbate the issue. Sigma is nimble and seasoned. No data migration, pre-established drill paths, or scale restrictions apply to live queries. Users may freely examine all of their data and delve down to the slightest detail thanks to Sigma's spreadsheet-like interface. This means that analysts will spend more time solving complicated business challenges and less time preparing reports.

Administration and IT business intelligence solutions

Administrators may create strong data governance for correctness and consistency by using Sigma, which offers a single point of access to a client’s data. By enabling end users through improved self-service and limiting access to sensitive information through improved regulatory compliance, it lessens report sprawl. The data is always safe and secure when using Sigma. Administrators have the ability to limit access to data straight from the database and to define restrictions for specific users and/or groups. By making sure the platform is secured at every level of the stack via encryption, authentication, and authorization, Sigma offers secure data analytics.
