Dear List, Please find an interview from Michael Zeller ,CEO, Zementis. Mike talks about how to use an existing model ( created in R) , using PMML as an intermediate for exporting the model, and deploying it on a cloud computer for as low as 1 $ per hour.
Regards, Ajay *Ajay-* *What are the traditional rivals to scoring solutions offered by you. How does ADAPA compare to each of them. Case Study- Assume I have 50000 leads daily on a Car buying website. How would ADAPA help me in scoring the model ( created say by KXEN or , R or,SAS, or SPSS).What would my approximate cost advantages be if I intend to mail say the top 5 deciles everyday.* *Michael-* Some of the traditional scoring solutions used today are based on SAS, in-database scoring like Oracle, MS SQL Server, or very often even custom code. ADAPA is able to import the models from all tools that support the PMML standard, so any of the above tools, open source or commercial, could serve as an excellent development environment. The key differentiators for ADAPA are simple and focus on cost-effective deployment: 1) Open Standards - PMML & SOA: Freedom to select best-of-breed development tools without being locked into a specific vendor; integrate easily with other systems. 2) SaaS-based Cloud Computing: Delivers a quantum leap in cost-effectiveness without compromising on scalability. In your example, I assume that you'd be able to score your 50,000 leads in one hour using one ADAPA engine on Amazon. Therefore, you could choose to either spend US$100,000 or more on hardware, software, maintenance, IT services, etc., write a project proposal, get it approved by management, and be ready to score your model in 6-12 monthsÂ… OR, you could use ADAPA at something around US$1-$2 per day for the scenario above and get started today! To get my point across here, I am of course simplifying the scenario a little bit, but ........... http://www.decisionstats.com/2009/02/interview-michael-zeller-ceozementis/ Read more at www.decisionstats.com ( and if server is slow..it will be slow :( ) read it in www.smartdatacollective.com Note-Decision Stats is a non commercial ,non sponsored, non advertising site, and platform agnostic.
