Predictive model deployment with PMML

Model deployment used to be a big task. Predictive models, once built, needed to be re-coded into production to be able to score new data. This process was prone to errors and could easily take up to six months. Re-coding of predictive models has no place in the big data era we live in. Since data is changing rapidly, model deployment needs to be instantaneous and error-free.

PMML, the Predictive Model Markup Language, is the standard to represent predictive models. Given that PMML can be produced by all the top commercial and open-source data mining tools (e.g., FICO Model Builder, SAS EM, IBM SPSS, R, KNIME, ...), a predictive model can be easily moved into the production environment once it is represented as a PMML file.

Zementis offers ADAPA for real-time scoring and UPPI for big data scoring which make the entire model deployment process a no-brainer. Given that ADAPA and UPPI are universal PMML consumers (accept any version of PMML produced by any PMML-compliant tool), they can make predictive models instantly available for execution inside the production environment.

The Zementis Partnership with FICO

Stuart Wells, FICO CTO, announced the strategic partnership between Zementis and FICO at FICO World on May 2, 2013. FICO clients will now benefit from the outstanding Zementis scoring technology.

How? The Zementis ADAPA scoring engine provides a highly scalable framework to deploy, integrate, and execute complex data mining and predictive models based on the PMML standard. Models built in most commercial and open source data mining tools, such as FICO Model Builder or R, can now instantly be deployed in the FICO Anaytic Cloud. 

Customers, application developers and FICO partners will be able to extract value and insight from their predictive models and data immediately, using ADAPA and PMML. This will result in quicker time to innovation and value on their analytic applications.
