    Shiny is well suited where an organisation is looking to empower their analysts to minimise time spent on repetitive analysis by deploying repeatable analytical pipelines, but also looking for them to add greater value to the organisation by utilising more advanced analytical techniques. Ideally it is well suited where IT are on board and supportive of some of the more advanced features such as deploying R Shiny dashboards.

    Return on Investment
    Posit (formerly RStudio)
    • We saw a good involvement to researchers when showing their models in shiny.
    • We can have a quicker review from the user when the model is in production.
    • False positives can be found easily and they help the retraining of the model.
