English term or phrase: siloed

During this period, IT has its hair on fire. It gets very focused and even a bit ***siloed*** because at this point the functions in the company that it serves tend to be ***siloed***.

Explanation:
in senso figurato.

Probabilmente ho detto una cavolata :-(( Guarda questa definizione:
Pollard sums up by saying there is still a lot of room in the insurance industry to see things more from the customer\'s perspective. She says companies and products are \"siloed\", meaning the customer still has to go to a number of sources to get all their needs met.

In tal caso potrebbe voler dire \"chiuso\", che non comunica. E allora ecco che mi quadra con il focused... mi scuso per la precedente risposta fuorviante.

Explanation:
...sono perplessa... to silo (o anche to ensile) significa insilare (terminologia agricola per "immagazzinare il foraggio") ma non vorrei dirti una fesseria poichè dal tuo contesto non so di cosa parli la tua traduzione... spero di non averti fuorviata. ;-)
