Case Study: Makena Capital cuts analyst reporting time by 50% with Sigma Computing

Makena Capital cuts analyst reporting time by 50% with Sigma

Makena Capital, a private endowment managing approximately $20 billion in assets, faced significant challenges with manual data reporting. Their analysts were spending 10 to 20 hours per week building error-prone Excel reports from disconnected data sources, creating reputational risk and hindering analysis. Sigma Computing replaced these workflows with a governed analytics platform.

By implementing Sigma on Databricks, Makena Capital created a live, governed analytics layer. This solution enabled analysts to build workbooks and tools for portfolio projections and interactive reporting without engineering support. The results were substantial, with Sigma saving analysts 10-20 hours per week and systematically enforcing penny-level accuracy across their entire $20B AUM.
