Data warehouses help companies in their quest to stay ahead of their rivals in a very demanding, competitive environment by providing insights into vast collections of data to make smarter business decisions. But an organization does not have to be the biggest in its field to take advantage of the numerous benefits that come with deploying a data warehouse and the insights it brings to the organization.
Organizations of all types and sizes have found that it's all about getting the insights to the right people in a timely manner. The 12 square tiles in this puzzle spell "data warehouse." The circles represent four different insights that need to reach the right people. Pipes form connected paths. In the configuration shown, the pipes connect the red insight to the green person, and the other three insights do not connect to anyone.
Your challenge is to arrange the tiles so the pipes connect each of the four insights to the person of matching color. All tiles must remain right side up; you may not turn them at a different angle.
Hint: The first three letters of the top row will spell a word.
