Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

An information silo is isolated data stored in separated information systems. With information silos, the data needed by one process are stored in an information system designed and used in another process. Because information silos exist in isolation from one another, they create islands of automation that can reduce the performance of processes and make process integration difficult.
