Financial Management applications, Supply chain management, Customer relationship management, Business intelligence, Human resources, and other types of applications typically cannot communicate with one another in order to share data or business rules. For this reason, such applications are sometimes referred to as islands of automation or information silos.
This lack of communication leads to inefficiencies - Identical data stored in multiple locations, processes are unable to be automated, etc..
