MLOps community meetup #39! Last week we talked to Ivan Nardini, Customer Engineer at SAS, about Operationalize Open Source Models with SAS Open Model Manager.  

// Abstract:
Analytics are Open.  

According to their nature, Open Source technologies allows an agile development of the models, but it results difficult to put them in production.  The goal of SAS is supporting customers in operationalize analytics  In this meetup,

I present SAS Open Model Manager, a containerized Modelops tool that accelerates deployment processes and, once in production, allows monitoring your models (SAS and Open Source).  

// Bio:
As a member of Pre-Sales CI & Analytics Support Team, I'm specialized in ModelOps and Decisioning. I've been involved in operationalizing analytics using different Open Source technologies in a variety of industries. My focus is on providing solutions to deploy, monitor and govern models in production and optimize business decisions processes. To reach this goal, I work with software technologies (SAS Viya platform, Container, CI/CD tools) and Cloud (AWS).
