Legacy IaaS technology systems were originally developed to meet departmental needs in business. Now innovative SaaS systems create robust integration, enterprise-wide. So why have many enterprises continued to be loyal to legacy systems and not made the shift to intelligent integrated software, in the cloud? Have you worked for a business where every department utilised silo systems; each manager produced their monthly board reports manually, and it felt like it took the whole month to compile the board reports? Department managers felt responsible, had control and were protective of their data. While large organisations call for specialisation, it appears silos can be counterproductive, slowing down information flow within the business processes. “Information silos and poor risk management have cost global banks billions, writes Gillian Tett, U.S. managing editor, and columnist at the Financial Times. Banks had the most expensive failure. As Tett describes, gigantic financial companies were split into so many different departments, or silos, the leaders who were supposed to be running the groups did not understand what their traders were doing.” Regardless of your business size, here are four reasons for why you should reduce silos across your enterprise. utilising SaaS technology.

When you reduce infrastructure, you save money. If you minimise vendor labour expenses, vendor dependence and in-house IT staff, and engage a new SaaS model that can integrate across your whole business and evolve with you; in turn, you will begin to reduce your costs.
