Breaking data silos The more data is brought together, the more valuable information you can extract. In many traditional organizations however, data is spread around different systems, applications, databases, and local computers (yes, you read that right). Datasets are developed at departmental level and often not connected; these are the 'data silos'. Because data cannot be brought together, there is no overview of what is available. As a result, valuable insights are lacking. Time to get in the bulldozer and break the data silos. Do you also need a bulldozer? Tim Pijl, Principal Data Analytics Engineer at Finaps, talks about his vision of data silos. How can you break through them to discover valuable insights for your organisation? |
