DEFINITION of 'Information Silo'. An information management system that is unable to freely communicate with other information management systems. Communication within an information silo is always vertical, making it difficult or impossible for the system to work with unrelated systems.
Although the terms information silo and data silo are sometimes used as synonyms, information silos are most often considered to be a cultural problem caused by people who fail to share information, while data silos are the result of technology that hinders collaboration.
