Blockchain is a technology with great potential for innovation. This means changes and new opportunities for your core business.
A blockchain can be used to create entirely new processes, besides making existent processes significantly faster, better and more economical. The transparent structure also allows these to be made safer and more efficient.
Blockchains operate on a distributed principle by which all participants verify information according to the same rules. Transactions are checked, confirmed, grouped in blocks and chained together immutably.
Digital Signature
A blockchain functions as a manipulation-proof medium for registering invariable and indisputable information records.
- Documents
- Processes
- Financial assets
Digital Identity
By confirming digital identities, a blockchain allows optimization of verification operations in “know your customer” (KYC) processes.
- The verification of identities
- Authorisation of identities in business processes
- Accounting and controlling issues
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts allow processing of transactions between multiple parties by lowering trust barriers and enhancing security.
- Smart Contracts can not be altered
- Transparency within business processes
- if specified conditions are met, contracts can be formed autonomously at any time
The core of any blockchain is its respective cryptocurrency. It provides stability and security, and the field of application is significantly larger than many enterprises realize.
Advantages of blockchains
Faster processes
A blockchain speeds up processes and transactions involving multiple parties – even outside business hours.
Automation
A blockchain can be used to conclude contracts and transactions as soon as all conditions are met.
Transparency
Information in a blockchain can be viewed by relevant parties and cannot be changed. This reduces risks and establishes trust.
Return on investment
Use of a blockchain allows rapid return on investment through more effective and profitable processes for your enterprise.
Security
A distributed and highly transparent structure makes processes clear and secure, especially vis-à-vis unknown parties.
Higher efficiency
A blockchain reduces the need for manual processes, besides making transactions transparent and automatic.
