Teams without dedicated automation expertise need a practical way to get started and repeat the work.

Sigma turns operational intent
into repeatable no-code workflows.

02 Value for Red Hat users

Put automation in
more teams’ hands.

Give operational teams a simpler entry point. A collaboration could connect their everyday work to Ansible.

From no-code workflows to Ansible adoption

Start with Sigma.
Enable the operating team.

A no-code entry point for patching, provisioning, and virtual desktop operations.

Proposed collaboration: Sigma enables no-code operational workflows, Ansible provides an enterprise automation foundation, and Red Hat gains an opportunity for new subscriptions and account expansion. Technical scope and commercial terms remain to be agreed.

04 The proposed product model

No-code operations.
Enterprise automation.

Pair Sigma’s operational entry point with Ansible’s execution and governance. Align the product boundary around a concrete customer workflow.

The no-code operational entry point

Sigma Automate

A visual way for operational teams to compose and reuse workflows around the job they need to complete.

  • Drag-and-drop workflow design
  • Reusable operational actions
  • Patching, provisioning, and VDI use cases
Execution path
Job state & outcomesProposed
Potential execution & governance foundation

Red Hat Ansible
Automation Platform

An enterprise platform for automation execution, reusable content, and governed operations.

  • Automation execution and orchestration
  • Reusable automation content
  • Role-based access and auditability
Execution & integration

Define how Sigma would invoke Ansible automation, pass workflow inputs, and return job state and exceptions. Select an integration approach with a clear support boundary and a demonstrable customer outcome.

Governance & operations

Align identity, credentials, approvals, and audit history across the proposed workflow. Establish operational ownership so customers have a clear model for access, execution, and support.

Value of the Ansible subscription

Connect the workflow to capabilities and support that justify the paid Ansible platform. Define the customer’s subscription requirement and how the proposed offer would create new demand or expansion.

05 The strategic fit

A broader route
to enterprise automation.

Sigma brings a practical no-code starting point for operational teams. A collaboration should build on Ansible’s existing visual orchestration and demonstrate complementary value through the customer, the workflow, and the route to adoption.

Reach

More operational teams.

An entry point for teams that own the work and prefer visual workflow design.

Activation

Concrete use cases.

Start with patching, provisioning, and VDI workflows that make the value tangible.

Expansion

A path to Ansible.

Connect workflow adoption to an explicit need for the enterprise platform.

Reference: Red Hat automation orchestrator
06 The Red Hat opportunity

Wider adoption.
A path to growth.

Sigma could help Red Hat reach new buyers and activate additional teams in existing accounts. The commercial goal is incremental Ansible subscriptions and paid expansion.

Proposed growth pathwayCustomer value → Platform value → Subscription value
01

Reach new buyers.

Open a no-code entry point for operational teams with immediate automation needs.

Broader customer reach
02

Activate Ansible value.

Connect a practical Sigma workflow to Ansible execution, governance, and enterprise support.

Enterprise platform value
03

Create subscription demand.

Convert demonstrated workflow value into a customer decision to adopt the paid Ansible platform.

Subscription opportunity

Turn operational value into a clear reason to adopt Ansible.

The commercial objective: incremental Ansible business.
Connect broader usage to a new subscription or a defined paid expansion.

How the opportunity becomes commercial value
New customer

A reason to subscribe.

A practical operational workflow can give a new customer a concrete reason to evaluate Ansible Automation Platform. The offer must connect that workflow to the capabilities and support the buyer is prepared to purchase.

Existing customer

A reason to expand.

Additional teams and workloads could extend Ansible’s footprint within an account. Subscription expansion depends on the required entitlement and commercial model; additional users or job runs alone do not establish incremental revenue.

Commercial design

A clear route to market.

Align packaging, support ownership, subscription requirements, and the route to purchase. Establish an addressable customer segment and measure commercial demand through a focused pilot.
