How do I find data silos?
Asked 3 years ago
Hi everybody. I've been working on eliminating data silos, and I really struggle to find them. Does anybody have any tips? What are some signs of data silos that I can look out for?

Generally, data silos occur when some parts of an organisation are isolated and there is no smooth flow of information between different departments in the organisation.
The following can be indicators of data silos:
1. When there is inconsistent data from different departments.
2. When management does not have enough data to make decisions.
3. Data sets are incomplete or out of date.
4. Sales representatives and customer care representatives finding it difficult to assess complete customers' data.
