Across buildings and technical operations, information exists in abundance. Technical plans are stored in one system, maintenance data in another, inspection reports exist as PDFs, sensor data is processed on separate platforms, and photos are either attached to tickets or saved locally. Each system serves its own purpose, but there is no shared context that brings everything together. As a result, information in many organizations remains trapped in data silos, and departments cannot access each other’s data even though they could benefit from it.
When a decision needs to be made quickly, the real challenge begins. The relevant information exists somewhere, but not where it is needed at that moment.
By now, it is widely understood that data silos are closely linked to declining productivity, rising operating costs, and missed opportunities, as fragmented information makes it harder to make fast and well-informed decisions.
A study by DATAVERSITY highlights how widespread this issue is: 68% of organizations identify data silos as a key data management challenge.
A similar picture emerges from enterprise data research. The International Data Corporation (IDC) reports that more than half of enterprise data is siloed, limiting organizations’ ability to access and use information effectively.
In practice, this means that information is scattered across different systems, formats, and teams.
This is far from a minor inefficiency. Studies show that data silos can reduce operational efficiency by up to 30%, as teams spend time locating, reconciling, and validating information instead of acting on it.
From Data Silos to Operational Clarity
This is exactly where the speedikon Visual Intelligence Platform (VIP) comes in. Instead of replacing existing systems, the platform connects them.
Plans, inspection reports, point clouds, pipelines, cadastral data, 3D models, GIS data, photos, tickets, Excel files, sensor data, and more are brought together in one shared, photorealistic environment and anchored to their precise geometric location.
Instead of switching between systems, users can virtually walk through their sites and facilities, access relevant data directly in context, for example at the specific building in question, understand the relationships between systems and components, and work with a unified, cross-departmental view. The result is not just integration, but true clarity about the current status of the entire site portfolio.
Webinar: Breaking Down Data Silos in Practice
Want to see how connected data can improve decision-making in real operational scenarios?
Then join our free webinar, “Breaking Data Silos with the speedikon Visual Intelligence Platform.” Adrian Merkel, CEO of speedikon FM AG, will use a real customer use case to demonstrate how the platform brings together fragmented data regardless of its origin or scale, reveals connections across systems, and enables fast, audit-ready decisions in day-to-day operations.
