Deployment

To realize the full benefit of predictive analytics, the analytic assets need to provide input for business decisions. Deployment bridges the gap between analytics and action by delivering results to people and processes on a schedule or in real time.

In IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services, individual files stored in the repository can be included in processing jobs. Jobs define an execution sequence for analytical artifacts and can be created with IBM SPSS Deployment Manager. The execution results can be stored in the repository, on a file system, or delivered to specified recipients. Results stored in the repository can be accessed by any user with sufficient permissions using the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Deployment Portal interface. The jobs themselves can be triggered according to a defined schedule or in response to system events.

In addition, the scoring service of IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services allows analytical results from deployed models to be delivered in real time when interacting with a customer. An analytical model configured for scoring can combine data collected from a current customer interaction with historical data to produce a score that determines the course of the interaction. The service itself can be leveraged by any client application, allowing the creation of custom interfaces for defining the process.

The deployment facilities of IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services are designed to easily integrate with your enterprise infrastructure. Single sign-on reduces the need to manually provide credentials at various stages of the process. Moreover, the system can be configured to be compliant with Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2.
