Editor Note: the count of "Deploy in production" probably should be higher, since some of the answers included use of data mining tool for scoring and other scoring methods, but did not include the "Deploy in production choice". However, we did not modify the reported results.

Of those who deployed in batch mode, the most popular deployment methods were

• Use data mining tool for scoring (60%)
• Convert model to SQL (29%)
• Convert model to C or Java (19%)
• Convert model to another language (19%)

Among those who deployed in real-time mode, about 60% used data mining tool for scoring. However, 86% also deployed in batch mode, so it is hard to separate real-time deployment from batch deployment with this poll.
