Everyone has been talking about blockchain technology since its inception in 2009. Businesses are under a lot of pressure to keep up with the latest technologies and risk being left behind.  Is it just for FinTech and Banking, or are other verticals set to benefit from this new technology? How could your business transform essential processes by using blockchain technology?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies had such large price increases in 2017 that they are now being tracked daily by mainstream media sites. Naturally, some have hypothesized that this is a speculative bubble. Others put a lot of money into it.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other alt-coins are still being actively monitored. The value of these crypto-currencies is influenced by bubble warning tales, investment announcements, price swings by "whales" and other major actors.

As an asset class, they may require years to gain widespread recognition as a safe investment vehicle, as well as some regulation.

Entrepreneurs and huge organizations are utilizing blockchain to enhance and rework old processes, and we'll look at some of the ways it can be e used for your company in this article.

Asset tracking and management

Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, is already using the Hyperledger Fabric to follow shipping containers throughout the globe and more easily establish that records haven't been tampered with. It was built by IBM and Digital Asset to contain a "chain code" of data, making it more secure than standard asset management and monitoring systems.

Many industries that own, manage, maintain, or insure significant assets are discovering that blockchain capabilities, such as record security, are worth investigating further than conventional software, particularly when records may be quickly amended.

Traditional contracts are being replaced

Another area where blockchain might be beneficial is contracts. Enforceability is automated and needs the consent of all smart contract parties. Before a contract may be implemented, the terms must be satisfied with the necessary evidence. Payment might be withheld if you don't follow the conditions.

Smart contracts offer significant benefits over regular contracts, and the tech industry, in collaboration with legal firms, should investigate this further. Businesses from all across the world would profit.

Increasing security

The pace of cyber-attacks is not slowing down. Businesses of all sizes are in jeopardy. Traditional security solutions are much less secure than blockchain. One benefit is that the data held on a blockchain is decentralized, with chunks of information being kept on several computers, or nodes. In contrast to typical servers and data repositories, such as the cloud, where everything is in one location. Everything is at stake if a cyber attacker infiltrates a conventional shop.

With blockchain, this is not the case. "Unless the hacker could shut down a full network at the same time (which is almost impossible), undamaged machines, also known as "nodes," would continue to run to verify and keep track of all the data on the network," one expert noted. Because it is almost hard to destroy a whole network, sensitive data is safer in a dispersed network.

Data compliance and recordkeeping

Data is a crucial asset in the business world. To obtain access to your systems, cybercriminals would go to any length. If entrepreneurs working on this challenge in the blockchain sector can discover a method to use it in a corporate setting – with user-friendly apps – the security of your data might vastly increase.

Blockchain as a Digital Transactions Standard

Blockchain is a virtual database that is kept in a network with each user having a local copy of the database, rather than being held centrally. Because of the decentralized structure and usage of cryptographic processes, no information in the database may be covertly modified by a user. Furthermore, each transaction must be broadcast to the whole network as a cryptographically secured block and confirmed (proof-of-work method).

In this approach, the blockchain establishes a high degree of confidence in peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a third party to oversee the transaction. Blockchain has the potential to become a crucial technology of digital transformation as B2B and B2C firms rapidly migrate to a digital market. In the anonymous world of cross-border digital communication, it builds confidence and security for consumers, customers, trade partners, and business partners.

Blockchain as a Business Process Accelerator

When it comes to digital transformation, one of the most important things that set you apart from the competition is speed. Furthermore, corporate operations that use a blockchain to store and move data provide extraordinarily high levels of security. On this foundation, you may create completely automated transactions in a variety of business domains. This method is not only dependable and secure but also exceedingly quick.

Blockchain offers several applications that will make it simpler for organizations to run and flourish as a long-term solution to data security, record keeping, and compliance. There are several more ways that blockchain can and will impact enterprises. These are only the beginning; as technology advances, blockchain will become more deeply integrated into organizations, allowing for a more reliable, quicker, and secure procedure for many enterprises.
