Thought Leadership
two or more parties with N-way shared objects
and applications will benefi t from underlying
blockchain technology. To realise value and create
applications that can function in a multi-party
network requires signifi cant investment and
innovative thinking.
Corporations cannot easily abandon current
IT investments and jump into or easily integrate
to the blockchain world. Without some type of
well-thought-out platform approach supporting
the two completely diff erent worlds of traditional,
one-company-centric enterprise applications
and multi-party, network-based blockchain
applications, companies will struggle to take
advantage of blockchain’s promise. Instead a
bridge or hybrid approach will prove valuable and
pragmatic for many corporations as they embrace
blockchain while continuing to extract value from
current IT investments.

A design that applies algorithms that run
directly on the networks and are designed to
be network-aware will win the day. Agents
that are aware of corporate boundaries,
N-way permissions models, many-to-many
links between blocks directly stored in the
network and connectivity between blocks in
diff erent networks will drive superior plans,
projections, predictive alerting, predictive
analytics and lead to better trained neural
networks. Indeed, the massive amount of data
that is already available on private and public
networks is already providing innovative
companies with the data needed to train the
next generation of AI for business. Those
companies with access to the largest amount
of data dimensions that are correlated in some
meaningful way are in the poll position to lead
the AI race. •
