A Proof-of-Value empowers organizations to cross the blockchain complexity chasm

While most banks and financial institutions are already using blockchain, many are stuck with Proof-of-Concepts or Minimum-Viable-Products that are no closer to full production than they were weeks or even months ago.

The significant pain points these organizations experience can be identified by asking:

Is your current solution enabling your blockchain applications to scale?
Can you move easily between managed cloud and on-prem hosting?
Have you spent a lot upfront but not achieved a return on investment?
Have you worked for months without getting into full production?

If this sounds familiar, the Proof-of-Value is perfect for you, as it provides the following benefits:

Scalability to increase your applications and users seamlessly
Flexible hosting to move between managed cloud and on-prem
Clear ROI from Value Sessions that align business & IT teams
Time-saving from launching applications in weeks, not months

Learn more about Blockchain Transformation

There will be $3.1 trillion of new business value created by blockchain by 2030, yet 85% of blockchain projects get stuck and fail to cross the blockchain complexity chasm. Blockchain Transformation in banking and finance will only occur if organizations can move their use cases, Proof-of-Concepts or Minimum-Viable-Products into full production, which is exactly what this contest is designed to help them do
