Every enterprise has business information that spans multiple data silos. Inconsistent, duplicate data scattered across various silos is a problem that IT can and should help the business fix. Without ready access to integrated information, businesspeople do not have the data they need to make decisions and perform their jobs effectively. Enterprises already have plenty of applications that automate business processes. The big challenge now is enabling businesspeople to access the information they need. A common approach to delivering integrated data from disparate silos is to implement a central, specialized silo for each data type. However, enterprises are finding that this centralized-silo approach is ineffective at delivering integrated information. This lack of integrated information is an inhibitor to enterprise success.
