Looking for a blockchain development company? If giants like IBM are not your story, we’re here to talk about your future blockchain project right now.

Blockchain technology has now become one of the most sought-after technologies by almost every major industry. From tracking shipments to analyzing healthcare data, the distributed ledger model opens up a whole new world of possibilities beyond traditional software development. Not surprisingly, major companies like IBM, Alphabet, and Microsoft are now diligently working on developing and implementing the blockchain technology.

We’re going to take a look at the top blockchain development companies on the market. If you’re a business owner trying to solve a problem, it’s likely that blockchain will allow for a more creative and unique solution than other means. Short of hiring your own team, it’s much more effective, efficient, and quicker to hire an expert to develop a solution for you.

While we could just give you the top 10 blockchain development companies, there are so many out there we figured we’d give you a pair of bonus recommendations for a top 12 list.

IBM Blockchain Services

Established in 1911, IBM is one of the earliest computer system and infosys companies in the world. Based in the state of New York, but with offices around the world, they have over 380k employees in various disciplines, with over 1,500 dedicated to blockchain development. One of the first of the truly large IT companies to embrace blockchain tech, they have a leg up on other competitors with robust use-cases they have already developed, making them one of the best blockchain development companies.

From supply chain to healthcare to transportation to finance, there isn’t an industry they haven’t researched a solution for, and as a client you can benefit from that breadth of experience by having them build a system for your business.

Infosys

Another large software firm that has recently fully embraced blockchain as a solution, this software development giant has over 180k employees distributed across 100 development offices worldwide. With so many companies already using Infosys technologies all around the world, interoperability is one of their strengths.

They have already developed blockchain solutions for a wide range of industries including health records and pharmaceuticals, supply chain transparency, energy, communications, bonds, international payments, global remittance, P2P payments, and more.

Microsoft Azure

Working primarily on the cloud computing, infrastructure, and hardware side of the development chain, Microsoft Azure is based in Seattle and has over 130k employees. Being one of the most influential and prolific software and OS development companies brings a wealth of experience to your project. The Azure platform also allows for open-source computing to let you develop your own solutions.

With an impressive array of solutions and partners, Microsoft Azure is a key part of the blockchain development ecosystem.

Oracle

Founded in 1977 in Santa Clara, CA, Oracle has over 137k employees and has created an active cloud-based blockchain development team. They have pre-packaged apps for many business segments such as supply chain, cold storage, and warranty tracking. The enterprise-grade applications are ready for integration with your current systems, cutting down on development time.

Like Azure, Oracle is focused on cloud-based solutions. You can browse their blockchain applications, and follow all the latest news on their site.

SAP

Starting off in Weinheim, Germany some 46 years ago, SAP quickly became a world leader in the workflow process and enterprise resource management (ERP) software solutions. Particularly in the manufacturing segment, the company owned the market before emerging technologies took over. The firm, which employs almost 95k people, started pursuing cloud-based solutions in 2012, and have now added blockchain services to their portfolio.

As a part of their holistic Leonardo intelligent technologies, SAP aims to integrate blockchain-based solutions into a wide range of business solutions.

Accenture

Dublin-based Accenture, founded in 1989, is an offshoot of Andersen Consulting and employs a staggering 459k people worldwide. With development services on all the most popular blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, Hyperledger, XRP and R3 Corda, they are ahead of many of the other large firms who only work with one or two platforms. This means they have more flexibility by leveraging the different strengths of the varied platforms.

You can learn more about the different use cases they have solved, as well as about future initiatives on their blockchain page.

TCS

Based in Mumbai, India, Tata Consultancy Services was founded in 1968, and has grown to over 400k employees worldwide. Starting out with rudimentary punch-card systems, TCS went on to be instrumental in creating solutions to the Y2K crisis and conversion tools for the EU integration. They jumped into the cloud-based solution market in 2011, and have recently added a blockchain development discipline.

While information on their website is sparse, the huge wealth of software development experience the company has will be brought to bear in their blockchain offerings.

Deloitte

The oldest company on our list, Deloitte was founded in 1845 in London, England, a whopping 173 years ago. Now employing 286k people worldwide, the company’s founder was the first independent consultant ever hired by a company, essentially spawning a whole industry. Changing with the times for almost 200 years, the company has reinvented itself over and over, becoming a leader in systems integration in the technology age. Now, they are offering blockchain development services as part of their wide range.

Having expertise in just about every public and private business and government sector means that they are poised to help with regulatory compliance for your solution, especially in fintech.

HCL Technologies

Hindustan Computers Limited, a multinational technology development firm, was founded in 1976 in Noida, India, and has grown to almost 118k employees. Starting out with the goal of being a computer hardware manufacturer, they have gone on to be leaders in application development and research in a wide range of industries.

They provide case studies of solutions they have created for clients, and have their own internal CoTrust blockchain development platform at their disposal.

Many Choices, Many Solutions

It’s clear that these large firms have seen the power of blockchain-based business solutions, and have acted quickly to build resources to deliver solutions to their clients. Each one has a unique perspective born out of the years working with specific industries and clients. You can access some of that expertise by using one of these firms, but for a more tailored and personal approach, you might consider choosing a small to medium-sized development firm.

Either way, there will be a team of experts there to help you take a problem and turn it into a blockchain-based solution.
