From Sonata Software -The Platformation Company
BLOCKCHAIN – Have you started riding the wave of this new revolution?
- The ‘World Economic Forum’ predicts 10% of the global gross domestic product will be stored on Blockchain technology.
- 13% of senior IT leaders surveyed have clear and current plans to implement Blockchain, as analyzed in a 2018 survey by IDG Connect Research.
- Any business that does not evolve its transaction processing technology runs the risk of being unable to make use of live data in the moment, as it is needed, as per a senior leader at a global analyst organization
These projections & predictions could appear to be bold for a recent phenomenon, but the way new technology adoption and digital transformation have been accelerating during the recent years, an enterprise could lag behind without applying Blockchain based transformative solutions in one or more their business processes.
Blockchain, with its fundamental characteristics - Transparent, Immutable, Provenance and Distributed, can transform many enterprise business processes besides the apparent relevance for disintermediation of financial transactions. Processes such as asset & inventory management across the supply chain, identity & access management of digital assets etc. will greatly benefit by applying Blockchain technologies to reduce the overheads of reviews and approvals in the networked processes.
Sonata, with its technology, demonstrable pilots and solution frameworks for key business processes, can help enterprises to take the first steps in adopting and accelerating implementation of Blockchain solutions.
