Not all of it. But a tremendous amount of AI spending isn't going toward value. It's going toward the appearance of pursuing value. There are echoes of the dot-com bubble here. The technology is real and incredibly impactful. Pets.com didn't prove the internet was fake. It...
The nature of our work involves spending time with analytics leader and technology buyers across a diverse range of organizations with varying degrees of data and analytics maturity. This gives us a nuanced view of how data architecture patterns are evolving in the real world –...
Shoot your shot, as they say. That means you, as you’re building something in Sigma right now. If the dashboard, app or report you’re working on is going to be used or seen by others, take a little bit of time to make sure it’s...
They know everything about their corner of the business. They built the systems everyone else depends on. When something breaks, they can diagnose it in 30 seconds. They are, without question, indispensable. Every organization has someone like this. Unfortunately, they also speak a different language than...
Something happened in the last year or so that we didn't see coming — at least not this fast. People across our business started building things. Not mockups. Not wireframes. Not, "Hey, could someone on the dev team make this for me?" requests. Actual, working applications....
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...
