By and for universities

SIGMA is a public alliance of universities that has emerged and developed from within the university system itself.

For more than three decades, we have been working on behalf of and for universities, providing them with services and developing a shared technological infrastructure that meets their academic management and research needs, through a shared perspective and a strategic vision.

We offer much more than just technology

Our model enables universities to undertake their digital transformation with the support of experts who oversee their progress, integrating processes, data and people into a single system
