At Snap Analytics, we believe that true transformation happens when technology empowers people. Not just specialists or engineers, but entire organisations. That’s why we’re proud to work with partners who share this vision. And it’s why we’re especially excited to see Sigma Computing named 2025 Partner of the Year by Databricks, Snowflake, and Fivetran.
These awards are no small feat. Each of these vendors is a category-defining leader in the modern data stack, and for Sigma to be recognised by all three in a single year speaks volumes. Not just about its technology, but about its growing impact on how businesses work with data.
So, let’s take a closer look at why Sigma is getting this attention, what it means for modern data teams, and why we at Snap Analytics are all-in on its vision
The Problem Sigma Solves
Despite years of investment in data infrastructure, many organisations still face the same challenge: the people who need data the most, the analysts, marketers, product managers, and operational teams, can’t get the answers they need without going through data specialists. That creates friction, delays, and missed opportunities.
Sigma changes that by letting business users explore live data directly in the cloud using a familiar spreadsheet interface. There’s no need for extracts, complex tools, or SQL expertise. Users can explore, join, filter, and visualise data on their own, while governance and security are maintained at the platform level.
At Snap, we’ve seen how this model accelerates decision-making, reduces the burden on data teams, and helps organisations unlock the full value of their data investments.
Why the Awards Matter
Sigma’s 2025 Partner of the Year awards from Snowflake, Databricks, and Fivetran aren’t just about partnerships. They reflect strategic alignment and real-world impact across the full data stack.
With Snowflake: Sigma lets business users work directly in the Data Cloud, performing complex analyses on live data without writing SQL or moving data outside of the warehouse. This tight integration ensures performance, governance, and scalability at every level.
With Databricks: Sigma bridges the gap between the lakehouse and business operations. While Databricks powers advanced analytics and machine learning, Sigma brings that data to life for non-technical teams through intuitive, real-time visualisation and interaction.
With Fivetran: As organisations automate their pipelines and centralise data in cloud warehouses, Sigma becomes the last-mile solution, allowing immediate exploration and analysis of fresh, reliable data as soon as it arrives.
These awards validate Sigma’s role not just as a BI tool, but as a central piece of the modern data ecosystem.
Sigma’s New Superpower: Data Apps
One of the most exciting developments in Sigma’s roadmap is its Data Apps capability. This is an evolution that takes the platform beyond dashboards and into the realm of fully interactive, cloud-native applications.
With Data Apps, teams can build custom interfaces, workflows, and decision-support tools on top of live cloud data, all within Sigma. Think real-time pricing tools, operational control panels, and guided analytics experiences, built by analysts, not engineers.
At Snap, we see Data Apps as a key unlock for operationalising insights across entire organisations. Instead of just looking at dashboards, business users can now act on them by filtering, triggering workflows, and even writing back to systems in context.
This isn’t just BI. It’s data-driven business execution.
