11. Blockchain wasn’t built for enterprise
Integration
There are a number of challenges to integrate
a blockchain with existing IT architecture
Ledgers
Ledgers designed for public network lack the performance,
confidentiality, and governance capabilities needed for
commercial use
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts were not designed to leverage
existing enterprise tools and skill sets
12. Collaboration is the Key
• Crossing trust boundaries
• Multiple parties updating, validating, consuming data
• Ability to provide increased transparency, trust
• New products or services can be created
• Centralized authority and infrastructure
• Single entity updates data
• No new process enabled; incremental benefits only
Yes

Need / Challenges
• Supply chain management can be
cash-flow unaware.
• Supply chain optimization usually
ignores contract terms.
• Each participant has their own
version of the ledger and there is a
weak integration between them.
• In case of anomalies, accountability is
needed to avoid expensive
reconciliation of disputes.
Potential Benefits
• Optimize inventory levels and turns
• Lower transportation and
warehousing costs
• Increase trust and visibility across the
supply chain by providing a single
source of truth
• Reduce legal expenses via self-
executing Smart Contracts
• Payments are automatic, condition-
based and adjusted for
performance.
Short-Term Reality
• Create a shared ledger as the single
source of truth
• Upload data into the shared ledger
from IoT-enabled devices via human
or self-managed inputs
• Intelligent actions based on Smart
Contract notifications

Know Your Customer
Need / Challenges
• Poor customer onboarding
experience across companies
• Same customer, multiple identities in
same corporate group
• Time consuming process to verify
identity and documents authenticity
• Difficult to ensure customer data
privacy and traceability
Potential Benefits
• Centralizing the KYC process
increase efficiency and cost-
effectiveness.
• Improve onboarding experience
across all authorized parties.
• Eliminating manual compliance
checks.
• Secure exchange of information
between different trusted entities
• Increased customer control over
how their data is accessed and
shared
Short-Term Reality
• Improve onboarding experience for
new customers
• Adding participants (e.g. institutions)
into the system
• A single global entity for updating
the global ledger

Promotion and Sales of Tickets
Manufacturing Government MediaRetail Energy TransportationHealthFSI Education
Need / Challenges
• 60% of the hottest tickets were
bought by bots. Close to 50% were
resold with margin over 1000%.
• Official dealers don’t get any
commissions.
• Tickets are listed on multiple
websites, sold once, the rest as fakes.
• Nearly 35% of ticket inventory goes
unsold and fans get upset
• Organizers and tickets selling
services suffers the user’s complaints
Potential Benefits
• Solve tickets double spending
• Provide a secure and transparent
system which is resistant to fraud
• and counterfeiting.
• Eliminate fraudulent activity in both
primary and secondary channels.
• Organizers (and tax authorities) can
grow revenue from other channels.
• Inflation could be controlled and
cost reduced.
Short-Term Reality
• Register and maintain ownership of
digital assets
• Association of an unique identity to
each ticket and making sure it is
publicly verifiable on the
blockchain.
• Creation of an API to make sure no
fraud occurs, improve ticket
promotion and grow the ecosystem
of ticketing apps or anyone who
can sell the ticket.
