Problems of Organizational Silos
• Every line of business, department, functional area has its own requirements, its own way of doing things
• Must invest in specialized components for narrow purposes
• IT must integrate everything, increasing cost, complexity, & brittleness

Silos on Top of Silos
• Organizational silos– Lines of business,
departments, geographic locations, etc.
• Application silos– COTS apps / bespoke
apps for different departments
• Infrastructure silos– Varied data centers &
rooms, heterogeneous platforms, & Cloud!

Cloud is No Panacea
• Move to the Cloud! Save money!• But…problems with technical silos persist:
– Apps that aren’t architected for Cloud– Static interfaces– Legacy technology– Inconsistent policies,
rules, & processes – Crusty old middleware
that predates Cloud – Diverse versions of
truth– Semantic interoperability

Internet of Things, etc.• Enterprise context
