MLOps

Machine Learning (ML) is the most commonly implemented form of the growing Artificial Intelligence (AI) market. In 2020 the ML market was estimated at $1.41B and is projected to reach $8.81B by 2025. The areas where ML models are being applied are constantly growing. On average, companies leading in the application of AI to their business are realizing a 4.3% ROI for their projects.
However, the risks are high. In order to realize the benefits of data-driven insights from ML initiatives, multiple studies have shown that companies need to maintain focus on clear business objectives as well as have mature processes, talent and platforms in place. Estimates of AI project failure rate vary but most studies put it well above 50%. Our team focuses on providing solutions that streamline the work in each major operations phase in order to realize the anticipated ROI:
  1. Data Preparation
  2. Experimentation
  3. Model Training
  4. Deployment

The importance of the MLOps data layer

ServiceLaunch’s MLOps practice ensures that our customers’ Machine Learning (ML) platforms are optimally configured and ready for use by data scientists in order to accelerate data science projects. Data scientists often spend the bulk of their time dealing with data preparation and infrastructure tasks unrelated to actual ML activities. Tool selection, standardization and process automation are essential to maximizing ML project efficiency. The ServiceLaunch MLOps practice team has Certified Kubernetes Administrators (CKAs) that specialize in design, deployment and operation of cloud-native ML platforms using best-of-breed tools and workflow automation to enable a streamlined flow of ML project activities for the enterprise.
