MESA, AZ and SAN FRANCISCO, CA. December 17, 2025 – Koantek, an Elite Databricks Systems Integrator (SI) focused on Data and AI transformation, and Sigma, an intelligence platform that unifies data, AI, and actions, today announced a strategic partnership. Together, Koantek and Sigma, the 2025 Databricks Business Intelligence Partner of the Year, will deliver a seamless path to self-service analytics for enterprises leveraging the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

The collaboration brings together Koantek’s deep engineering and business intelligence expertise, proprietary Brickbuilder Solutions, and end-to-end modernization services with Sigma’s intuitive,warehouse-native analytics and AI experience. This powerful synergy enables customers to move beyond legacy BI tools, empowering business users to analyze massive datasets with the simplicity of a spreadsheet.

“Our mission at Koantek is to maximize customer ROI on Databricks and accelerate their journey into AI. By partnering with Sigma, we are solving the last-mile challenge for our customers, providing business teams with an exceptionally intuitive, powerful interface that works directly on their Lakehouse data,” said Ghassan Lababidi, SVP Alliances, Enablement and Marketing. “This partnership ensures our successful data modernization and GenAI initiatives translate directly into widespread, actionable insights for every user, enabling true self-service analytics at cloud scale.”

“Koantek is recognized for its Databricks expertise, particularly in large-scale migrations and advanced AI operationalization.
