Sigma Named the 2026 Business Intelligence Snowflake Product Partner of the Year
The triple recognition reflects Sigma’s accelerating momentum with Snowflake customers worldwide, and the role Sigma plays as the agentic execution layer, AI applications platform, and spreadsheet UI on top of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. Every query, AI action, and writeback runs with full support for Snowflake’s role-based access control—extending Snowflake’s built-in governance, performance, and economics to every business user.
“Enterprises want to put AI in front of their business without giving up the governance and lineage they’ve built around their data. Being recognized for the fourth year running, and now across EMEA, and for our work in spearheading adoption of Snowflake CoCo, validates that Sigma plays a critical role as a runtime layer for AI analytics, app building, and agent management,” said Mike Palmer, Sigma CEO.
“Sigma differentiates itself among our partners by treating Snowflake as the system of record at every layer – generating SQL directly on Snowflake, orchestrating Cortex Agents, and inheriting our governance model end-to-end – so customers can adopt AI without introducing additional security or data-movement risk,” said Amy Kodl, SVP, Worldwide Alliances & Channels.
A Year of Delivery for Joint Sigma and Snowflake Customers
In the past year, Sigma delivered industry-leading capabilities for joint Sigma and Snowflake customers, including:
- Sigma Skills for Snowflake CoCo enabling data engineers to build, manage, and validate their full Sigma workflow while leveraging their Snowflake environment
- Sigma Assistant support for data model relationships and Snowflake semantic views, enabling context-aware responses that can join related tables for higher-quality answers
- Integration between Sigma and Snowflake Cortex Agents, helping teams deploy customized data applications to govern and transform operational workflows and business processes
- Python support in Sigma for Snowflake customers, bringing notebook-style workflows into Sigma to elevate advanced analysis and reduce friction between business analytics and data science
Sigma is a Heli-Ski Partner for Snowflake Summit 2026, June 1-4 in San Francisco, and will be exhibiting at Booths #2110 and #1412 for daily demos, hands-on training, and customer-led theater sessions.
Sigma will also host several featured sessions at the event, including two sessions led by CEO Mike Palmer on how AI agents help teams analyze data, automate workflows, and act on trusted Snowflake data: “The CEO’s Case for Snowflake-Native AI Apps” and “The SaaSpocalypse: Why Sigma and Snowflake Win the Next Decade.” Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager and a Sigma customer, will share how they built governed, Snowflake-native analytics and writeback applications at scale—and how they’re now piloting new capabilities to embed data into finance workflows and power the next generation of intelligent applications.
Other customers, such as National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and SPS Commerce, will also lead educational sessions on how they are leveraging Sigma’s expanding AI capabilities to build custom AI Apps and workflows. Love’s Travel Stops will also join Sigma on stage to share their current Sigma and Snowflake use case.
