I am facing the exact same scenario in the railroad industry. I have the idea, the data, I know how to build the model, train it but my biggest challenge would be delivering it and actually making use of it.
In the end, is it really worth all that effort if you end up using Cognitive Services on Azure or ML on AWS? How to you deploy your model and actually USE it in a WPF CRUD app?
In the most recent builds of Windows 10, there is a new Windows Phone app what enables you to link your iOS device. Not sure if that's exactly what you are looking for but you can use iMessage on your Windows Desktop. Good luck!
