Altcoin News: Deloitte Will Attract Corporate Users to the Blockchain Using the New Platform
August 20, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE
Deloitte, a member of the Big Four Auditors, presented its own blockchain platform for demonstration and experimental work.
According to a press release, the Blockchain in a Box (BIAB) platform was developed in the interests of customers who want to get acquainted with the possibilities of solving real-world problems using distributed registry technology.
Deloitte describes the BIAB as “a mobile, self-contained technology platform capable of hosting blockchain-based solutions across four small-form-factor compute nodes and three video displays, as well as networking components that enable integration with external services, such as traditional cloud technologies.”
“Deloitte custom built this solution based on client interest in understanding blockchain capabilities in live interactions,” said Linda Pawczuk, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. blockchain leader. “What’s often misunderstood about blockchain is that it is an entirety of a technology solution — when in reality, it’s a technology component that enables larger business applications and approaches. Our mobile demonstration is practical, tactical and most importantly, tangible to clients.”
Each node supports SD cards for quick demonstration and transfer of projects. It is assumed that the system will be used by enterprises wishing to create and distribute decentralized applications with a minimum set of equipment.
This year, Deloitte conducted a survey among business representatives, which showed that many of them still cannot begin to take advantage of the distributed registry technology. 23% of the companies surveyed said they implemented blockchain in their business in 2019. However, 53% agreed that technology would be key to their organizations in the future.
