It is very common for organisations to have applications and other data needing to be analysed and maintained regularly. One of the most common problems is having too much data residing in multiple data silos.

The following are the disadvantages that come with having multiple data silos:

  • Hidden insights – Inability to achieve comparative analysis of data, due to the lack of clear visibility caused by multiple applications.
  • Poor time management – Team members analysing data, waste a great deal of time tracking data across various silos.
  • Duplicate data analysis – Higher chance of team members analysing and working on similar data, due to the lack of visibility they may have when accessing different data silos.
  • Lack of collaboration – Different teams assigned to work on particular data silos resulting in a lack of effective collaboration.

To find a resolution for these disadvantages, organisations must unify insights across their multiple data silos. This helps them compare their important data. The organisation gets more visibility of the activity in their IT environment.
