// Abstract:
Analytics are Open.  
According to their nature, Open Source technologies allow an agile development of the models, but this results in difficulty putting them in production.  The goal of SAS is to support customers in operationalizing 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 the Pre-Sales CI & Analytics Support Team, I 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 decision-making processes. To reach this goal, I work with software technologies (SAS Viya platform, Container, CI/CD tools) and Cloud (AWS).
