The Neuromation team has just published a new report on the state of Machine Learning Operations Platforms in 2021. MLOps was defined as a separate discipline only recently when the ML practitioners moved from university labs to corporate boardrooms. AI and ML leaders today already have a better understanding of the MLOps lifecycle and the procedures and technology required for deploying new models into production and subsequently scaling them.
Surpassing Decentralized Data Management Woes with Data Virtualization
June 11, 2021 by Leave a Comment
In this contributed article, editorial consultant Jelani Harper discusses how data virtualization enables organizations to surmount obstacles (i.e. data quality, schema, and data integrations that are foundational to data management) and to focus on benefits (i.e. remote collaborations characteristic of working from home, the takeoff of the cloud as the de facto means of deploying applications, and the shift to external sources of unstructured and semi-structured data). Supplementing it with mutable graph data models boosts its applicability to data of all types.

Before Jumping to Machine Learning, You Need a Solid Analytics Foundation
June 8, 2021 by Leave a Comment
In this special guest feature, Michael Simms, Practice Director for Data & Analytics at Columbus Global Services, discusses four important elements of an effective data journey. Mapping a data journey provides awareness and understanding of where your organization is to ultimately get where you want to go, with enablement and adoption of the technology throughout. Without the clarity provided by a data journey, your organization won’t be positioned to successfully deploy the latest technology.
