Executive Summary
The infamous data silos used for business intelligence (BI) that isolate different business domains and obstruct innovation often deserve their pariah reputation — but not always. The right framework for deciding which silos go to the gallows requires a focus on business processes, looking at the types of decisions that business users will make with a silo's data, instead of a focus on the systems with which they might be integrated. At a minimum, some silos will have to be restructured or consolidated into fewer silos, and they may well need to be transformed into process-focused cross-domain systems.
