Managing cloud costs requires accurate resource tagging, but maintaining completeness and accuracy is a challenge. In this session, Mitchell Ertle (Senior Partner Solutions Architect) and Josue Bogran (Data & AI Architect) demonstrate how Sigma and Databricks combine to streamline FinOps and resource management with AI-driven cost attribution and workflow automation.

Through a practical demonstration, you'll see:

Identify and classify untagged Databricks pipelines with a cost attribution app Use GenAI from Databricks to suggest tags with human-in-the-loop approval Enable bidirectional data flow between Sigma and Databricks for real-time updates Automate workflows with Sigma’s actions framework Ensure security and governance by inheriting Unity Catalog permissions Discover why this combination is powerful—Sigma provides intuitive application building while Databricks delivers computation, AI/ML capabilities, and data storage. These platforms create solutions business users can interact with directly, without technical expertise.

Whether in data engineering, finance, or operations, learn how Sigma + Databricks can automate workflows, optimize costs, and drive business impact.

The enterprise software landscape is at a pivotal turning point. For decades, organizations have been trapped in a cycle of siloed applications—first in on-premise data centers, and then repackaged as cloud SaaS solutions. While infrastructure has become more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective, the applications running on top remain frustratingly rigid, expensive, and disconnected.

In this session, Mike Palmer (CEO of Sigma) and Carter Busse (CIO of Workato) discuss the shift from "best-of-breed" point solutions to an "end-to-end" approach powered by data apps. They'll explore:

Why traditional SaaS applications force organizations to adapt their workflows to software limitations rather than the other way around How the centralization of data in cloud warehouses creates the foundation for building custom, integrated workflows Real-world examples of organizations replacing expensive, disconnected tools with purpose-built data apps The future of enterprise software, including predictions on how AI will reshape application development and data accessibility Practical strategies for starting your data apps journey without creating new technology sprawl Learn how forward-thinking organizations are using data apps to create workflows that better match their business needs, increase decision-making velocity, boost accuracy, and dramatically reduce software costs—all while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and security.

Sales forecasting and demand planning are critical business processes, but most organizations still rely on spreadsheets—leading to version control issues, fragmented approvals, and lack of historical tracking. Traditional BI tools struggle to solve these problems because they don’t allow for cell-level edits, inline comments, and structured approval workflows in a governed way.

In this session, Ian Reed will demonstrate how to:

Enable real-time forecasting by replacing manual spreadsheets with a structured, cloud-based data app Allow for cell-level edits and inline commentary so teams can capture assumptions behind forecast changes Implement an automated approval workflow with proper governance Integrate seamlessly with live data sources for continuous updates and visibility into actual vs. forecasted performance Track historical changes and maintain audit trails of all modifications

With Sigma, demand planning is no longer a fragmented, error-prone process—it’s a seamless, governed workflow that scales with business growth. Join this session for a demo and a step-by-step walkthrough of how this app was built, proving that anyone can create a highly customizable, enterprise-grade demand planning system in Sigma without deep technical expertise.

Traditional analytics platforms help you understand what happened, but what about acting on those insights? Sigma Data Apps bridges this gap, allowing you to create purpose-built applications that combine live data, human inputs, and automated workflows—all connected directly to your cloud data warehouse.

In this kickoff, the Sigma team demonstrates how the platform has evolved beyond dashboards to enable true end-to-end workflows:

Learn how Writeback allows you to collect and update data directly in your cloud warehouse See how the Actions Framework automates processes with a single click Explore application layouts with modals, popovers, and tab containers to create intuitive user experiences Discover how to integrate AI models from your data warehouse for advanced analytics

Whether you're looking to replace expensive departmental software, enhance spreadsheet-based processes, or create entirely new workflows, this session will show you how Sigma's Data Apps can help you build solutions that match your exact business needs—in days, not months, without writing a single line of code.
