How Fortune 500 Companies Tackle Their Toughest Data Challenges
Blog post from Sigma
In Fortune 500 companies, data management challenges arise due to complex tech stacks, siloed data, and access issues, often leading to reliance on outdated spreadsheet solutions that lack governance and scalability. This fragmentation hinders clear, real-time insights and informed decision-making. Companies struggle with balancing data security and accessibility, particularly with role-based access controls (RBAC) and compliance requirements, which are critical in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing. Sigma addresses these challenges by sitting directly on top of enterprise cloud data warehouses, ensuring data remains within the cloud, thereby eliminating silos and enhancing security through compliance with standards like SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA. Sigma's self-service analytics empower business users to independently explore and analyze live data, reducing IT dependency and facilitating real-time decision-making. By centralizing governance and enabling interoperability, Sigma helps companies unify their data strategies, fostering collaboration and providing actionable insights without compromising security, thereby allowing organizations to see the "whole elephant" and make confident, data-driven decisions.
