The Potential of Predictive ML Models in Sigma
Blog post from Sigma
The integration of Snowflake's machine learning platform Snowpark with Sigma's cloud-native analytics capabilities allows business users to directly access and utilize machine learning models within a business intelligence (BI) platform, eliminating the traditional barriers between data science and business analysis. This synergy enables real-time model scoring, enhancing decision-making, monitoring, and automation processes by making data immediately available for analysis without the delays associated with manual model output workflows. The approach also supports scalability and expands data product offerings, allowing organizations to implement sophisticated features such as customer recommendations and live predictions directly within the BI tool. This integration framework, leveraging Snowpark's model registration and Sigma's pass-through functions, facilitates a seamless, governed environment for deploying and interacting with machine learning models in real-time, offering transformative potential for data-driven decision-making across organizations.
