The concept of a silo is a walled container where all the information for that particular process is nicely stored together, which is great if you are working in the silo, but making access to that information for other departments difficult. Each process or department has its own container or silo. If one silo needs information from another silo, someone must go to that silo and see if the owner of the information is available or if he is willing to give that information. The siloed approach has been around for a long time with the manager of the silo keeping their fiefdoms, or should we say "silo-doms", to themselves and only releasing information to others if they see fit or when they are ready.
