The Hidden Cost of Information Silos
Knowledge workers spend an average of 2.5 hours per day searching for information across disconnected systems. This fragmentation creates significant business costs:
- Lost Productivity: $14,000 per employee annually in search time
- Duplicate Work: 30% of content is recreated because it can't be found
- Poor Decisions: 40% of decisions made without complete information
- Knowledge Loss: Critical expertise trapped in siloed systems
