For some, Blockchain still hides nothing but a lofty and abstract buzzword. A presentation platform from Deloitte is about to change. It should be used to emphasize practical applications of the technology.
Not everyone is able to easily imagine the functional sequences of a blockchain. To make this technology more comprehensible, the auditing and consulting group Deloitte launched a new presentation tool on 19 August. As Deloitte explains in the accompanying press release, the company developed the project called "Blockchain in a Box" (BIAB) to make "tangible blockchain demonstrations and experiments" possible.
Blockchain in a Box is therefore a mobile tech platform that can host blockchain-based applications. These can be fed into the device via an SD card. There is also the option of integration with external services, such as data clouds. Linda Pawczuk, director of the Deloitte Consulting US Blockchain Group, clarified in her statement that the platform was developed to provide concrete use cases of blockchain technology:
Deloitte developed this solution based on customer interest in understanding blockchain capabilities in live interactions. What is often misunderstood about Blockchain is that it is a total solution - in fact, it is a technology component that enables larger business applications and approaches. Our mobile demonstration is practical, tactical and above all tangible to the customer.
Deloitte has already presented the platform at several conferences.
Deloitte involved in numerous blockchain projects
The company, which is one of the Big Four global auditors, also participates in numerous blockchain projects. For example, Deloitte is a member of the Clinical Supply Blockchain Working Group. The group, initiated by the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, wants to make supply chains in the pharmaceutical sector more efficient by recording them on a block chain. The goal of the project is to track the entire process of drug delivery from the manufacturer to the patient.
In addition, Deloitte is one of the supporters of CoLab alongside Fidelity, Amazon and others. The IDEO subsidiary acts as a start-up incubator. CoLab wants to support new blockchain companies in a variety of ways. In addition to financial support workshops should be offered on various topics.
