hope it helps uh~❤
➛ First we need to explain what a silo is,
✰ Think about the way rice or wheat is stored today. Typically, those small grains are housed in a stand-alone robust tower, called a silo, and contact between these storage towers is kept to a minimum so as not to breed infection or spread any problems from one to another.
✰ So too an organization stores its “grain” or as we know it “information” in silos, whether in individual departments, regional offices, different channels and sometimes even in different management levels within an organization.
Are data silos all bad ?
☛ The good news is that silos are not all evil; they can be beneficial when used properly and even provide organizations with a structure that works.
☛ Often they can foster expertise in different areas and promote a sense of individuality, accountability and responsibility.
☛ Silos can also act as a method for ensuring focus around specific business deliverables.
