The analytics workflow generation operation enables generation of targeted analytics workflows (e.g., via a data scientist (i.e., an expert in data modeling)) that are then published to a workflow storage repository so that the targeted analytics workflows can be used by domain experts and self-service business end-users to solve specific classes of analytics operations. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implementable method for performing an analytics workflow generation operation, comprising: providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface; generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer; publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: an end-user user interface enables an end-user select data management and analytical tools from a comprehensive palette, to parameterize analytic workflows, to provide the self-service business users flexibility to address the particular needs of the customer without having to understand data preparation and modeling tasks. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein: the end-user interface accommodates role-based authentication so particular groups of end-users have access to relevant templates to solve analytic problems of a domain of the particular group of end-users. ### Claim 7 A system comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to the processor; and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for: providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface; generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer; publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the instructions are further configured for: retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein: an end-user user interface enables an end-user select data management and analytical tools from a comprehensive palette, to parameterize analytic workflows, to provide the self-service business users flexibility to address the particular needs of the customer without having to understand data preparation and modeling tasks. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein: the end-user interface accommodates role-based authentication so particular groups of end-users have access to relevant templates to solve analytic problems of a domain of the particular group of end-users. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for: providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface; generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer; publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions are further configured for: retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein: the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein: an end-user user interface enables an end-user select data management and analytical tools from a comprehensive palette, to parameterize analytic workflows, to provide the self-service business users flexibility to address the particular needs of the customer without having to understand data preparation and modeling tasks. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein: the end-user interface accommodates role-based authentication so particular groups of end-users have access to relevant templates to solve analytic problems of a domain of the particular group of end-users.
