Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in San Francisco, CA

Sigma Computing is a San Francisco based software company whose cloud platform combines business intelligence, data applications and AI agents on top of an organization's existing cloud data warehouse. The company reports that more than 2,000 enterprises use its product, and it maintains additional offices in New York and London.

It is best suited to mid-size and large organizations that have already centralized their data in a modern warehouse and want analysts and business users to work on that data directly rather than through extracts.

Platform and products

The core of the offering is a browser-based workbook that pairs a familiar spreadsheet-style grid with Python and SQL, letting both technical and non-technical staff filter, pivot and drill down to individual records. Around this sit several product lines that buyers can evaluate separately:

• BI and analytics dashboards on live warehouse queries
• Pixel-perfect, formatted reporting
• Embedded, white-label analytics, including isolated client portals through Sigma Tenants
• Data applications that write approvals and changes back to the warehouse
• Sigma Agents for automating routine checks and follow-up tasks
• Sigma Assistant, a natural-language question interface, plus MCP and agentic tooling
• Shared data models that hold common metric definitions, with dbt support

Users can also reach the platform from Slack, a command-line tool, or AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, with the results landing in a governed workbook.

Approach and governance

Sigma's design is warehouse-first: queries execute inside the customer's Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift or ClickHouse environment instead of copying data into a separate store. Security rules defined in the warehouse at the row and column level carry through to dashboards, AI answers and agents, and with OAuth each person queries under their own warehouse role.

Administrators get audit logs covering who created or edited content and what was asked of the AI features, along with usage dashboards and result caching intended to keep compute spend in check.

The company lists SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, HIPAA and GDPR compliance as well as SSO and SCIM support, and runs a public trust center and bug bounty program.

Industries and teams served

Sigma targets finance, sales and operations, and supply chain teams across financial services, healthcare, retail and consumer goods, manufacturing, technology, energy and utilities, hospitality, transportation and logistics, and real estate and construction. In financial services, for example, it positions the platform for reconciliations, fund operations, compliance reviews and client reporting portals.

Published customer stories include Moffitt Cancer Center, which built a de-identified cohort exploration workbook on Snowflake with help from consulting partner phData, as well as Duolingo, Vanta, HashiCorp and G2.

Working with Sigma

Prospective customers can start with a free trial or request a demo. Sigma supports adoption through documentation, QuickStart guides, JumpStart trainings, a user community and live events, and it works with technology and consulting partners. It also offers migration guidance for organizations moving off Tableau, Power BI or Looker, which makes it a relevant option for buyers consolidating legacy BI tools onto a single governed platform.
