Information silos can create numerous challenges within an organisation. Firstly, they result in a fragmented view of the business as data is not shared across departments. Secondly, the time-consuming nature of retrieving and consolidating data from multiple silos can slow down decision-making, thereby reducing the organisation’s agility. Lastly, each information silo can become a potential entry point for security breaches, making the task of protecting data significantly more complex and challenging.
