A legacy BI environment is defined by a simultaneous excess of data and a lack of actionable data insights. Reliance on a variety of outdated BI tools means organizational data gets siloed inefficiently, leading to a proliferation of scattered, redundant data that takes precious time and manpower to synthesize.
It’s no surprise that data centralization is a key feature of the modern data stack: organizations want total data synergy that drives data-driven decision-making with a minimum of manual processing.
Sigma offers modern enterprise BI that does everything under one roof: advanced analytics, AI capabilities, automated reporting and decision-making, and so much more. It’s safe, fast, and scalable, and its spreadsheet UI is easy to use.
So what’s stopping organizations from dropping their legacy BI tools? As always, it comes down to the logistics of the transition—and especially the tricky challenges of data migration. Organizations have to stay agile and keep their day-to-day operations efficient. A long, expensive, and high-effort platform shift can be intimidating even in the best of times.
In this article, we’ll discuss how the Sigma BI Analyst by Hakkoda can help organizations quickly and effectively identify the weaknesses in their legacy BI systems using AI, eliminating the need for a time-intensive manual review and setting companies up to better understand what they stand to gain by migrating to Sigma.
A Free Assessment of Your BI Systems to Start Your Modernization Journey
The Sigma BI Analyst (currently in private share) is a free native app soon to be available on the Snowflake Marketplace. This tool provides users with an in-depth assessment of their BI environment, identifying reporting sprawl, duplications, and other problems commonly found in legacy BI systems while eliminating the cumbersome manual processes and human errors that go with traditional assessment.
The app makes it quick and easy for organizations to accurately and completely inventory issues in their existing BI systems. Think of this tool as a way to generate a quick yet comprehensive report card of your BI system, assessing for efficiency and showing you in exacting detail where your system can be improved to drive insight and drive ROI.
Next Steps: Charting a Course for Modern Business Intelligence
Once you have your organizational report from the Sigma BI Analyst, now in private share via the Snowflake Marketplace, stakeholders can align on if migrating to Sigma makes sense for your organization.
Finally, the app’s free initial assessment can be used to create a pragmatic roadmap that the Hakkoda team, together with support from our BI Copilot, can leverage to further streamline your BI migration, which can make the migration process up to eight times faster for your organization.
That process has produced big results for our clients, resulting in 64% average time savings on complex BI migrations and 1000x faster rationalization than traditional methods, but it all begins with a free assessment that will help your organization better understand the state of its BI systems.
