Hey there, folks! This wild ride keeps right on going, doesn't it? Nevertheless, so do we! This month on the InterWorks blog, we had a record-setting number of blogs come out. From start to finish, we managed to get 32 blogs out into the aether, which is...
Historically, BI tools drew a clear line between the people who model the data and the people who build the dashboards. Sigma collapses that gap. You're working directly against the warehouse, operating on non-aggregated data with a bottom-up, spreadsheet-like approach, and transforming the data as you go. That flexibility is...
Most AI initiatives stall between pilot and production. The path through starts with your experts, not your architecture. A client messaged us recently after building a full data transformation with a single prompt using an AI coding assistant. He was fired up, and rightfully so. His...
It Started with a Policy, Not a Tool Before anyone at InterWorks touched an AI tool, every employee signed an AI Usage Policy. This wasn't bureaucratic caution. It was the foundation. The policy set expectations for what's acceptable, what's not and what the consequences are. When things inevitably...
A client came to us with a mandate from their CTO: They wanted their business users to be able to ask natural language questions against their Snowflake data, specifically from Claude Desktop rather than Snowflake Intelligence or a custom Streamlit app in Snowflake. Claude Desktop...
A common question we've been getting lately is whether Sigma supports multi-layer maps. More specifically, people want to know if it's possible to display polygons, lines and points on the same map; for example, showing a ski resort boundary while also displaying lift lines and...
Sigma's action framework has come a long way. Bulk update and bulk delete gave app builders serious power over input tables. But one gap remained: There's no native way to insert multiple rows with a single action. Sure, you could chain 48 insert row actions...
This is part of an ongoing series where I discuss Terraform and its specific benefits (or drawbacks) to data teams. What This Blog is Not Meant to Be This blog is not meant to be a How to Terraform Your Snowflake Data Warehouse blog. If you are...
As a seasoned user and regular trainer of Tableau, I've learned that if there's one way to do something in Tableau, there are probably two or three ways. So this week, I’m sharing five of the best time-saving things I’ve learned to do in Tableau! 1....
You've done the hard work — built a clean portal, organized the navigation and connected the right data. But if your users are still asking the same questions, skipping features or just not logging in as often as you'd expect, the issue usually isn't the...
When you're embedding Tableau Dashboards into your Curator for different teams, departments or clients, two things become critical: Making sure users only see the Dashboards they have access to. Making sure the data inside those Dashboards is filtered to what they're allowed to see. Rest assured...
Advance with Assist shares quick solutions to common challenges encountered in everyday AI-assisted workflows. Question: I've been using Claude Chat for basic questions, but I feel like I'm not getting the most out of it. Sometimes the responses are too long, too vague, or miss what...
When I first used Sigma in early 2024, it was still a spreadsheet-native analytics platform. While still interesting at the time, it was not until they launched data apps (now known as AI apps) that I became truly excited and got my mind spinning about...
Today, global business operations represent the norm, rather than the exception, intensifying the volumes of data collected. Not only does this increased bandwidth of data come with a rise in the amount of sensitive data collected, but regulatory considerations begin to not-so subtly creep into...
If you're connecting Tableau Cloud to Curator with Curator Users authentication and want users to only receive Curator's onboarding email (and not Tableau's!), this step-by-step guide will walk you through the full setup. The goal is to send only one onboarding email to your users...
Snowflake OpenFlow is a native data integration capability that brings Apache NiFi-style pipeline orchestration directly into the Snowflake ecosystem. If you want a solid introduction to what it is and what it can do, I strongly recommend starting with this post from the InterWorks blog. Here, I'll assume you're already across...
I had the pleasure of attending Sigma's inaugural Workflow conference this month, where I met more of their team, shared excitement with enthusiastic customers and got a deeper look at a tool that is genuinely shaking up how we think about business intelligence. Getting a window...
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...
