Blockchain

What is it, how does the technology work and will it affect you?

 
Blockchain, also known as Distributed Ledger Technology, can allow transactions and records to be traced and authenticated over the internet quickly and securely without the need for approval by a central authority.
Will it be a disruptive technology like Uber or a technology that provides enhanced security and reduced cost for the financial and legal sectors?

Globalisation is one of the driving forces behind this digital technology with consumers and businesses expecting fast, reliable and secure ways of storing and transferring critically important data around the world.  While Bitcoin has captured the headlines, the Blockchain technology that underlies Bitcoin has received much less attention but has the potential to have a more wide-ranging impact.  From Banking and Financial Institutions, Education, Government and beyond, Blockchain technology has endless applications for addressing the changing digital landscape.

Understanding today how Blockchain may change your environment both professionally and on a personal level is imperative to making the most of this technology and your businesses future in the emergent digital age.
