Breaking the Barriers of Siloed Data
Data silos are collections of data that exist in one system but are not fully accessible (or accessible at all) in another system. This disconnect creates barriers to collaboration, analytics, and data governance. While there are several issues that can contribute to siloed data, one of the biggest factors is the separation of technology solutions. Our team can assess your solutions and processes to help you uncover the gaps these silos are creating and show you how to fix them. Reach out to start the conversation.
Challenges of Siloed Data
Limited Data Analysis
Without a complete view of the datasets, it’s impossible to see the bigger picture of what that data means.
Wasted Time
Because of limited data visibility, employees may be duplicating the same work in other systems. This wastes valuable time that could be spent on productive tasks.
Faulty Forecasting
Data between solutions can be inaccurate, duplicated, or otherwise corrupted. The same data points in solution A may show different results in solution B, leading to inaccurate forecasting and lost profitability.
Duplicate Data Entry
When data is siloed and you need it reflected in multiple systems, the only way to get it where it needs to be is by manually entering it into each silo.
Compromised Data Integrity
When data sets are locked in siloed systems, it’s difficult to manage and maintain them. This can compromise data integrity and lead to bigger issues with data security, compliance, and governance.
Squandered Storage
Duplicate sets of the same information take up valuable storage space. Eventually you’ll need more room, and that expansion will increase the cost of maintaining your data infrastructure.
