As data grew too vast for memory, JMP 17 became a master of connection. It could query databases live, connect to Python, and run SAS code natively. The "New Formula Engine" calculated at blistering speeds. And the "Predictive Modeling" menu—packed with random forests, neural nets, and boosted trees—was no longer a specialist's toy. It was a drop-down menu for everyone.
Verdict: JMP 16–17 made a strong turn toward MLOps-lite and automated reporting. The Workflow Builder is fantastic for auditability. jmp version history
