There's a shift happening in analytics that I've been watching closely. The ask used to be "Can you build a dashboard?" which has now morphed into "Can you build a dashboard that's fast, cost-efficient, scalable and doesn't quietly drain our compute budget every time someone...
Let’s talk about money. Well, not really, I won’t present and Euros or Dollars here. Migration costs change from month to month, curating the numbers game is fairly impossible right now. But we can talk about, what money arguments to consider. Because let’s face it: Every...
Oh, what a year this is shaping up to be. Halfway through, and there's been no shortage of excitement around the InterWorks offices. We're looking forward to H2 of the year, pushing boundaries, learning and growing. That's the dual edged sword of looking forward into...
Some words can mean more than they are supposed to. Let’s say we are working with tool X right now. There are four major scenarios: Stay and optimize X. Expand X. Migrate from X to Y. Let X and Y coexist (on purpose). Afterwards we dive...
Building a secure data lakehouse in Snowflake is only half the battle. The harder problem is getting that data in front of business teams without exposing sensitive personal information or requiring everyone to learn SQL. A hands-on lab at Snowflake Summit 2026, "Activate Snowflake Data With...
I recently heard someone say: Excel is where failed migrations go. I had to chuckle a bit, but of course, there is truth in it. Platform migrations that don’t work well lead to shadow analytics. Which is especially hurtful when it’s the data tool that was migrated. In...
Most BI tools are great at telling you something is wrong and then leaving you to go fix it yourself. A dashboard flags a shrinking pipeline, someone notices, and then they alt-tab into their inbox, their CRM, and their calendar to actually do anything about...
For years, designing a data lake meant choosing a side. You either built entirely within the AWS ecosystem (Glue, Athena, EMR) or you centralized inside the Snowflake Data Cloud. Choosing one usually meant dealing with painful data duplication, expensive pipeline maintenance, and vendor lock-in to...
It's a question we will bravely ask every client if we find out they are still utilizing self-hosted hardware. It's usually met with a pause. Not because the answer is complicated, but because most organizations have never had a reason to say their approach out loud to someone outside of their company. We’ll commonly get a mix of,...
At a recent Snowflake conference, a standout hands-on lab demonstrated a powerful architectural shift: running Neo4j graph analytics directly inside the Snowflake Data Cloud. This was a hands-on workshop teaching how to use graph analytics (a powerful way to analyze networks of connected things) applied...
For years, enterprise data teams have faced a frustrating choice: a data lake (cheap, flexible, but a governance nightmare) or a data warehouse (fast, secure, but expensive and locked to a single vendor). At a recent Snowflake conference lab, "Power Analytics and AI Wherever Your...
If your Tableau connections use a shared Snowflake service account, meaning a single username and password shared among multiple Tableau Creators, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news: A change to Snowflake security is about to break those connections. The...
One of Sigma's greatest strengths is its flexibility. Unlike more rigid BI tools, Sigma lets you build complex, multi-layered workbooks with deeply customized data logic- joins, groupings, pivots, nested calculations — all within the same tool. For analysts who want to work closely with their...
This blog is featured in our AI Use Case Library of real AI solutions. The Problem Program managers and product managers are supposed to spend their time on judgment calls: What to build, what to defer, how to balance bugs against new features inside a fixed window. In practice,...
Databricks Data+AI Summit just wrapped and it was a big one. Genie One launched as a full agentic coworker, Lakeflow got a lot of attention as Databricks' answer to a unified ingestion and transformation layer, and Agent Bricks expanded into a full agent platform with...
This blog is featured in our AI Use Case Library of real AI solutions. The Problem A lot of organizations have Snowflake. Fewer have Cortex enabled. The gap between those two things is almost never technical. Data teams at financial institutions, government agencies and healthcare organizations watch their counterparts in...
I feel like I generally make a comment in one of these roundups around this time of year about, "Oh, can you believe [Insert Year] is halfway over??" But surely this year, I have actual cause for it, right? Has 2026 not just absolutely flown by? I...
If you’re anything like me, you love discovering product updates and hidden tweaks that make data analysis not only more powerful, but also smoother, smarter and a little more fun. And Sigma Computing had a busy June. And since I know my readers are also very,...
