Big data, IT a good fit for Missoula

Earlier this month, Missoula http://bigdataweek.com/missoula/ was one of 25 cities to participate in Big Data Week http://www.matr.net/news.phtml?showall=1&catlabel=Big+Data+Week+-+May+5-11-14+-+30%2B+Cities+Worldwide+Including+Missoula&cat_id=173 , a global confluence of events focused on the impacts of data.

The list of other cities participating in Big Data Week reads for the most part like a ranking of the world’s largest metropolitan areas. São Paulo hosted three days of events. Budapest and New York City hosted one day.

Missoula – by far the smallest participating city – held eight events over six days, including a Cyber Triathlon and presentations on the role of data analytics in health care, cybersecurity and other areas.

Those local events were organized by representatives from Missoula City Council, Inteneo Systems, SemanticWeb.com, the UM Business School and Missoula Economic Partnership.
