Sigma is a cloud-based business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform. It's primarily used for data exploration, visualization, and building applications, all while working directly with data stored in cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift. Sigma allows users to analyze large datasets, create dashboards, and build data applications without needing to move or copy data, making it a fast and efficient tool for business intelligence.
