Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Facebook Inc. analytics chief Ken Rudin says that Big Data is crucial to the company’s very being. And he has very particular ideas about how it should be managed.

"Facebook could not be Facebook without Big Data technologies," Mr. Rudin said in an interview with CIO Journal.

Facebook’s success with Big Data isn’t shared by that many companies, though. As CIO Journal has reported, studies suggest that many companies are frustrated with the technology. Most recently, a Bain & Co. survey found that only 4% of business leaders are satisfied with the results of their Big Data efforts.
