What Sigma Computing is
Sigma Computing is a cloud platform for analytics, applications, and agents using governed warehouse data. It queries cloud data warehouses directly without extracts and supports analysis of billions of rows. The spreadsheet-style interface provides Excel-like formulas, pivots, and exploration of live data, while workbooks can include SQL and Python for interactive analysis. Sigma AI offers natural-language queries, AI-assisted application building, table-column processing, and agents that trigger workflows. Users can edit table data and write changes back to warehouse tables; embedded agents can also write to the warehouse. Listed connections include Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Amazon Redshift. AI applications inherit warehouse role-based access and row-level security. Sigma lists CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO/IEC certifications, and SOC reports in its Trust Center. The service is available through web and API access, with real-time refresh, scheduled reports, embedded analytics, and a free trial requiring no credit card. Pricing is available on request.
