What they’re saying

“Existing solutions are failing administrators: they are too complicated, too costly, and too hard to adopt. Sigma is the execution engine for agentic AI in IT, enabling accessible automation for infrastructure, cost optimization, and security enforcement through a no-code, intuitive visual platform.”

— Richard Shaaya, CEO and Co-Founder of Sigma Automate

“Enterprise IT teams have long been buried in complexity, juggling hybrid infrastructure across cloud, on-prem, and virtual desktops with no clear path forward. The organizations that will pull ahead are those willing to rethink automation and infrastructure management from the ground up. Richard, Ben, Greg, and the Sigma team are doing exactly that, transforming what has historically been an operational burden into a genuine competitive advantage.”

— Rick Grinnell, Founder and Managing Partner, Glasswing Ventures
