In the field of data engineering, it sometimes feels like new tools are being introduced merely for the sake of novelty, only to have the exact same benefits and pitfalls as the previous new, shiny tool. When I first heard about "dlt" (data load tool),...
As data teams strive to deliver faster, smarter insights, Sigma is stepping up by embedding AI directly into its dashboard experience. With features like Formula Assistant, Explain This Chart, Ask Sigma, and AI Queries, users can now interact with data in more intuitive and intelligent...
Continuing our series on integrating AI features into the Sigma development environment, today we’re focusing on a key consideration: the cost of using AI-powered tools within your dashboards. Sigma currently supports four AI-driven features: Formula Assistant, Explain This Chart, Ask Sigma and AI Queries. In this...
Same Tool, Different Game Nine months ago, I wrote a tool comparison comparing Sigma, Tableau and Power BI head-to-head, with the blog framed around the evolution of BI and where each tool wins. After attending Sigma Workflow conference this week in San Francisco, the clearest thing...
Amazon's Bedrock service has become a popular choice for organizations looking to build AI into their existing cloud infrastructure. It provides fully managed model hosting, native integrations with familiar AWS services and offers ready-made components for agents, retrieval and content filtering. This lets teams extend...
Deploying AI systems into an enterprise environment means navigating a wide range of decisions that can compound very quickly. What data is being processed, and can it leave your environment? Where does your data currently live, and what platforms is your team operating today? And...
Every once in a while, we run into a data problem that stops us in our tracks. The data is all right there on the screen, but it has been organized in a way that only one person fully understands, and that person is not...
Ask one journalist to research a story, write it, take photos, fact-check and copy-edit and you'll get work that's "fine." Ask a newsroom to do it and you'll get something worth reading. The same logic often applies to AI. Most of us start in lone-ranger mode. We...
Well, looks like 2026 is shaping up to be one of those years. Never fear! Though life may be hectic, the InterWorks blog will continue on as it has for the past decade and a half. Surely, you'll draw some soul-soothing comfort in your favorite corporate...
This is the first in a sequence of short-form blog posts I will be doing talking about Terraform and its specific benefits (or drawbacks) to data teams. What Are You, and What's Your Data Challenge? You’re the leader of a small data team in a medium company...
This week, I’m in San Francisco attending Workflow, Sigma’s inaugural user conference, and I can’t help but think back to 2011 and my first Tableau conference in Las Vegas. That event was small and intimate – just a few hundred attendees, well before the press...
Most retail teams operate within the same set of dashboards: Revenue by week, units sold by product, and perhaps a few filters for region or channel. Those views are undeniably useful, but they are fundamentally descriptive. They answer one question: "What happened?" As business intelligence...
Why This Is Important As my friend Josias likes to say: “Sigma has given us the keys to the castle.” When I heard you could integrate Python notebooks directly into Sigma, I knew I had to give it a try. The customizability that comes with Python...
Change is hard. We all know this. Whether it's implementing a data warehouse, adopting an analytics tool, restructuring a team, or shifting company culture, the path from where you are to where you want to be is rarely a straight line. But here's the thing:...
Sigma’s introduction of Single-Select and Multi-Select column types has opened up a new level of table customization. Pills, also known as chips or badges, help viewers instantly categorize data by taking advantage of pre-attentive attributes of shape and color. Additionally, pills can help break up visual monotony in large...
Want a visual walkthrough of this post? Check it out here, and follow along below: For the last five years, I’ve worked almost exclusively in Power BI across several roles, with most of my focus on revenue forecasting. Even before my BI journey began, I was...
Want to check out a video version of this blog? Check this out: The Challenge Teams working with clients know the familiar rhythm: Meetings generate pages of notes, action items and follow-ups, but the process of translating that information into organized, trackable work remains fragmented. Notes often...
Traffic control agencies rely on vast CCTV networks to keep roads safe. But when something goes wrong, figuring out what happened is still a slow, manual process. Imagine this: A spill of sand is reported on a busy highway, and the agency now has to hunt...
The Problem with Feedback Today If you build reports for other people, you know this cycle well. A stakeholder pings you on Slack: "Hey, the numbers on that report look off." Which report? Which numbers? You ask for a link. They send a screenshot with no context....
What would change if you could run five projects at once instead of one? That's not a hypothetical. It's how the team that built Claude Code uses it. And over the past year, we've been testing whether those patterns translate outside a Silicon Valley AI lab. ...
