SAS ModelOps: From Decisions to Recommendations

Organizations have a hard time deploying analytical models consistently. Only around half of all models are ever put into production, according to various studies. The remaining half is shelfware and hence adds no value to the business. As a result, the "ModelOps" challenge has expanded dramatically. Recognizing these difficulties, SAS Viya employs three key strategies: model management, decision management, and operationalization.

A developing area of interest, based on ModelOps, has been offering personalized suggestions to enterprises across a variety of use cases. This form of contact is similar to strategies used by Amazon, Google, and Netflix to serve their specific consumer groups. These "Recommender Systems," which are based on Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and other analytic methodologies, are one of the cornerstones of "True" Artificial Intelligence (AI)..
