Why Data Silos Need Bridges – Closing the Content Access Gap
Instead of attempting to break down data and content silos, a more effective strategy is to build bridges between them. Silos often arise from disparate software systems, un-digitized data, and a lack of inter-departmental sharing, leading to duplicated efforts, inconsistent messaging, and wasted resources. By focusing on creating bridges through organizational renovations, a common taxonomy, and tools like openEQUELLA to serve as a central content repository, organizations can enable silos to change organically, improving efficiency and user experience.
