What effect do data silos have on company culture?



Data silos usually hamper the smooth running of business activities in an organisation. This is due to the problem of a segregated workforce and the isolation of departments. The company culture of efficiency for instance can be disturbed when certain information cannot be accessed by a particular department of an organisation. Communication is an essential part of organisational culture, but with data silos, communication is not effective and this can disrupt the company's normal processes.
