- 4. AGENDA: BLOCKCHAINWITHTHE EYESOF A CIO • Technology • The key problems of Blockchains • The problem with the most prominent Blockchain app Bitcoin – too expensive • Forget public blockchains – Enterprise blockchains made for you • But you need to worry of Security, Reliability, Scalability and Costs … and integration • Value Add, Costs and future of IT • What is relevant for Enterprise blockchain • Value capture definition, not use cases • Cost & structural comparison to cloud // SaaS // databases • Make or buy • Integration • Enterprise Blockchain projects – what do we know about active projects
- 5. BITCOIN – TOOEXPENSIVE • original Blockchain structure scales badly • Energy, computing requirements and transaction time skyrocket with transaction and participant increase • This known problem can be reduced by configuring and changing some of the underlying components (in particular the so-called consensus protocol).
- 6. WHAT IS RELEVANTFOR ENTERPRISE BLOCKCHAINS • “Classic” Blockchain: • Anonymous • Immutable • Transparent • Decentral • Trustless • Enterprise Blockchain: • Private • Permissioned • Centrally governed • Based on trust to the central authority • Different methods for reaching consensus, which largely drive the extreme differences in performance and characteristics.

- 8. VALUE CAPTURE DEFINITION •New Business Models • Radical digitalization of legacy IT • Transformation and improvements • Automated transaction management, self-organizing (smart contracts) • Reduced transaction cost • Efficiency, effectiveness, cost improvements due to replacing legacy/obsolete software infrastructure
- 9. VALUE CAPTURE DEFINITION •Our approach: • In the well-defined Enterprise IT landscape it is either a new business case or an IT replacement case • Two requirements • Needs to lower costs or be at par • Needs to add value -> driver usage of decentralized data • Value creation valuation framework • Platform/marketplace – for the value add due to decentralized design • Comparison to SaaS / database solution – for scales
- 10. APPLYING THE FRAMEWORK •Blockchain has a strong value proposition as a way for non-trusting entities to transact. • Following theValue CreationValuation Framework, this makes blockchain an interesting alternative for all use cases which can be framed as marketplaces. As such, finance and trading is an obvious choice. For commodities, particularly for energy, the case is even stronger, as decentralization can drive participation effects (and likely network effects) also for non-typical actors (prosumers). • Other cases are more dependent on efficiency gains.

- 13. COMPARISONTO CLOUD //SAAS // DATABASES • Central Architecture: Everything is in the Cloud • Servers • SaaS Applications • Databases Cheap and easy access • Decentral Architecture: Everything is Everywhere • DLTs • Decentral Apps (Dapps) • Decentral Databases No single point of failure Scales //TCO // OpEx Distributed // Secure
- 14. MAKE OR BUY– COST POINTS Make • Development costs • Deployment costs • Ppossibly hardware upgrades • Maintenance, support and security running costs • Projekt risk Buy • Software configuration costs • Hosting or aaS subscription running costs
- 15. Decentral SecureScalable If the blockchainisn’t decentral, why use a blockchain? If the blockchain isn’t scalable, why use a blockchain? If the blockchain isn’t secure, why use a blockchain? If it was all three, what’s the business model? CURRENT STATE OF THE ART: YOU ONLY GET 2
- 16. DOYOU NEED ABLOCKCHAIN? Do you need a shared database? Do you need shared write access for multiple parties? Do the parties mistrust each other? Is it unfeasible/unwanted to use a trusted third party? Do you need a verifiable, unchangeable ledger? If you answered any of the questions with NO, then you probably do not need a blockchain. But even if you answered every question withYES, does not necessarily mean that a blockchain is the best solution for you.

- 19. ENTERPRISE BLOCKCHAIN PROJECTS: WHATDOWE KNOW? • Over 80 blockchain startups in Germany • Over 15 cooperations and blockchain projects by large corporations • The big SaaS/IaaS players offer blockchain-related services • However, mostly PoCs are announced and implemented.There are few known cases of efforts to go into production. • In fact, there are first cases of Blockchain products going off the market (Share & Charge) or being spun out of the corporation (ZF’s Car eWallet)
