How keen is your eye for opportunities?
For many organizations, business intelligence (BI) has long answered a multitude of questions about their operations and customers. While BI-empowered enterprises can often answer “who,” “what,” “when” and even “why,” “where” has frequently been missing from the equation.
Considering how much of a company’s data includes geospatial details—such as customer, store and competitor locations—the possibilities for new insights are boundless. Organizations that can effectively integrate geospatial information with other business data can step into the realm of location intelligence and reap myriad rewards.
To solve this issue’s puzzle, place boundary lines on the grid to separate the region into rectangular territories. Each must contain exactly one store, and the number of blocks in the individual territories must be the same as the number marked on the store.
Correctly solve the timed puzzle by April 1, 2010 for a chance to win a GPS Homing Device.
Congratulations to the winner of last issue’s online contest, Sean Hickey, manager of data integration architecture at T-Mobile USA.
