Beyond Crypto - How Blockchain Advances in the Enterprise

Summary

While public blockchains continue to be popular due to their open-source and permissionless networks, enterprises are now increasingly focusing on permissioned blockchain protocols across public and federated networks, where data within the network is accessible to a small group of network members. Often termed “Enterprise Blockchain”, these blockchain networks are now being explored to utilize traceability, transparency, security, and efficiency aspects for applications in sectors such as financial services, energy & utilities, and aerospace & defense, among others. The report uses GlobalData’s Innovation Explorer database and expert analysis to showcase various use cases for enterprise blockchain.

Innovations: presents real-world innovation use cases and examples related to the implementation of enterprise blockchain by companies across sectors. It casts light on how blockchain-enabled innovations are developing use cases that are transforming operations and processes within enterprises across the sectors.

Scope

• Innovation Insights: innovation examples by each use cases segment of various sectors to present key trends.

• No surprise that technology has been a driving force in business transformation for years, but the term ‘emerging technologies’ has all of the sudden become the key catalyst to drive the next wave of innovation across sectors.
• The sense of urgency weighs differently across different sectors, where the direct customer-facing sectors are at the forefront compared to other capital-intensive sectors. Companies in one sector can take cues from successful innovations in other sectors to either draw analogies with existing products, services, and processes or transfer strategic approaches for a revolutionary transformation.
• Against this backdrop, enterprises need to understand which emerging technologies are impacting their sector and how various companies are implementing them to meet various challenges.
• The innovation landscape report on edge computing, published by GlobalData as part of an ongoing series, covers some real-world examples to advance the development and implementation of the technology across some major sectors.
