Data Silos

Data silos occur when different departments or groups within an organization store and manage information separately, preventing easy sharing or integration. This can lead to inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and a limited view of the overall business. For example, the sales team might have customer data that the marketing team cannot access, making collaboration and decision-making more difficult. Breaking down data silos involves creating systems or processes that allow for better data sharing and integration across departments, enabling more informed, cohesive business operations.
