Sigma Computing, an innovator in cloud-native analytics and business intelligence (A&BI), is powering a community-driven approach to A&BI with the latest version of its solution. The new interactive dashboards transform the A&BI process by enabling seamless collaboration between business users and data experts and allowing the domain experts to align A&BI efforts with business needs. Sigma’s new Application Embedding capability allows dashboards to be embedded into applications with inherited access roles and permissions, extending the value of Sigma throughout the entire data ecosystem safely and securely.
Every company wants to be data-driven, but that is just a pipe dream until data exploration, analysis, and business intelligence are accessible to everyone.
- Rob Woollen, co-founder and CTO, Sigma Computing
“At Sigma, we believe the organizations that derive the most value from A&BI solutions are the ones that use them to work iteratively across business and technical teams. Unlike other solutions, Sigma gives everyone, not just data teams, the ability to explore, model, visualize, and enrich their data in real-time, at cloud-scale, so that they can find the answers in their data that drive real competitive advantage more quickly.”

According to a Sigma research report released today, 79 percent of data experts and 64 percent of domain experts want to work together more closely on A&BI, which requires a tool that balances power and ease-of-use so both groups are confident working in it. When combined with the Sigma Spreadsheet, interactive dashboards bridge the gap between data experts and domain experts, enabling them to easily collaborate on initiatives, better understand data, and communicate insights. Key features and functionality include:
• More choices for managing data updating in real-time as underlying data and analysis change;
• New customizable templates, themes, layouts and a dashboard builder;
• Mobile responsiveness so dashboards and visualization can be viewed on any device;
• Easily and securely share dashboards and visualizations with public and private links;
• Ability to embed images, videos, and URLs;
• Leverage parameters directly within dashboards and across multiple worksheets;
• Data controls to dynamically update specific filters/parameters and connected analyses.
Sigma’s dashboards give us a 360-degree understanding of our customers’ businesses so we can easily identify opportunities for new efficiencies and potential problems before they become issues.
- Chris Lambert, CTO, Payload
“Just about every company is trying to do more with less right now, which means we need to be making the best possible decision at any given moment. Sigma puts the data we need at our fingertips, guiding every decision we make and validating every recommendation we give to our customers.”
Application Embedding
Embedded analytics use cases, like application embedding, allow Sigma users to extend the value of their data by putting real-time and endorsed data analysis alongside a business workflow. This meets decision-makers where they are and eliminates the need for users to switch between applications to find data they need to make decisions. With our new application embedding capabilities, users can now embed dashboards and visualizations into custom applications and authenticate users through those applications. Embedded dashboards can also be customized for each user directly from Sigma, including specific views of data and the ability to change views of data in the dashboard or visualization.
