Strengthening Foothold in Blockchain Holds Promise
The secured storage and transmission of data through a decentralized database is the most attractive feature of the blockchain technology. Originally utilized for cryptocurrency transactions, the system is transparent and incorruptible and is meant to provide unaltered information.
Since blockchain uses a distributed consensus, tampering with its records without being noticed by an entire network is difficult. This makes the system extremely safe. With minimum chances of double counting and hacking, the possibility of monetary losses is low. Consequently, we believe SAP’s blockchain initiatives in the evolving logistics industry hold promise.
Driven by multi-industrial adoption, blockchain technology has rapidly gained traction over the last few years. In fact, per Orbisresearch.com data as revealed by Reuters, blockchain technology is anticipated to be used by 65% of enterprises by 2020. Given its market presence and growing collaborations, SAP is well positioned to reap the benefits.
The solutions offered by other key players in this domain like International Business Machines (IBM - Free Report) , Microsoft, Accenture, have been adopted by the insurance, banking, food supply and automobile industries among others.
Long-term earnings growth rate for Synopsys and Symantec is projected to be 10% and 7.9%, respectively.
