Missoula, Montana could become "Big Data" tech hub

In late July, together with the University of Montana and IBM, we announced a collaboration to bring the world’s first undergraduate course in IBM’s InfoSphere Streams technology to students at UM. The class, to be offered during the 2012 fall semester, will immerse students in IBM’s groundbreaking system for processing and analyzing large quantities of data in real time.

What is exciting about this course isn’t simply that it is the first of its kind, but rather the potential impact it could have on Missoula’s entrepreneurial landscape in the coming years. By offering computer science, mathematics and business students an early exposure to some of the most advanced technology in the computing field today, we see a timely opportunity for Missoula to take a leading role in the "big data" processing industry of tomorrow.
