English term or phrase: make siloed decisions
Context:
Customers need to make decisions by incorporating information from all aspects of the business. Customers can no longer make siloed decisions without assessing the impact across all areas.

Comments: The word "siloed" here makes me confused.
From google, I got two matches:

竖井式企业(Siloed Organizations)

However, I don't think they are appropriate here.
IMO, the word siloed here may have the meaning of "闭塞的""闭门造车".
Can anyone help?
Thx in advance.

做出坐井观天式的决策


Explanation:
silo作名词时,有"导弹地下发射井"的意思。这里作分词用时,表示“在井中的”,引申为“坐井观天,或井底之蛙”。
