“Blockchain is a transformational technology with the ability to significantly reduce the
friction of doing business and transform supply chain solutions,”
- ShiSh Shridhar, Microsoft WW Retail Industry Solutions Director
Blockchain can provide value if there is fraud or lack of trust in the system, and there are
multiple parties to a transaction. As result, the use of blockchain for the supply chain can
help you to achieve end-to-end transparency and provides:
• Confidence in the provenance of a product and its component parts
• Visibility to the corporate supply chain by keeping a single, near real-time view that’s
consistent for everyone
• Facility to resolve disputes quickly
• High-assurance audit log to resolve disputes quickly and transparently
• Ability to record the condition of assets in transit by combining blockchain with Internet
of Things (IoT) sensors.

What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a transparent and verifiable system that will change the way people think about exchanging value and assets,
enforcing contracts, and sharing data. The technology is a shared, secure ledger of transactions distributed among a network
of computers, rather than resting with a single provider. Businesses are using blockchain as a common data layer to activate a
new class of applications. Now, business processes and data can be shared across multiple organizations, which eliminates
waste, reduces the risk of fraud, and creates new revenue streams.
Our Customer Journey has been defined…
Based on our previous engagements, our experience delivering innovative projects and using our agile approach, we are now
ready to help you understand the potential impact of Blockchain technology on your industry, and to determine whether it can
deliver both cost efficiencies and competitive advantage.
• Data is securely stored in a ledger and all the

• Data is distributed and shared to multiple
parties
• The ledger can only be updated by network
consensus
• The information is cryptographically
immutable becoming the single source of
truth across parties
• Business Ideation Workshop
• Architecture Design Session
focusing on Blockchain
• Development of a minimum
viable product (MVP) pilot using
Blockchain running on Azure
• Identify the entire solution’s
requirements, epics, features ,
user stories and roadmap
• Moving from MVP to
production pilot with a
minimum set of all participants
involved
• Add IoT capabilities by
ingesting data and get insights
• Feasibility study to apply the
solution to other products
• Consortium & Governance
