Grupo de Trabalho

My comment:

I would say Grupo de Trabalho ou Divisão depending on the company (SMBs vs multinationals). The word silo originally referred to storage containers for grain or missiles, but it is now used as a metaphor for separate entities that stockpile information and effectively seal it in. In business, organizational silos refer to business divisions that operate independently and avoid sharing information.
