What is fragmentation?
Fragmentation in a business refers to the lack of integration and cohesion across processes, systems, or data. It's characterized by siloed functions, disparate technologies, and disjointed information streams, which can hinder communication and efficiency.
What does fragmentation look like in an enterprise?
Fragmentation within an enterprise may present as a multitude of specialized yet isolated software solutions, conflicting data repositories, or departmental barriers. It can result in duplicated efforts, inconsistent user experiences, and difficulties in obtaining a unified view of the business.
