(12/19/19) How and Why to Include a Managed Blockchain Service into your Cloud Strategy

Overview: Business leaders have made a notable investment into their cloud strategy over the past decade. Crafting a cloud strategy, however, is not an easy task to do. Digital transformation initiatives have led organizations to experience complex hybrid environments that could include private cloud service, public cloud services, and traditional application services. One question to ask when composing a cloud strategy is: “Where should we apply the cloud”? Some expected outputs from that question could lead to technical considerations, integrations between applications with other line of business systems, and the management of business-critical applications. When drilling down into these questions and considerations regarding a specific application leveraging a blockchain network (given the complexity of blockchain), the management of the blockchain network may be imperative. During this presentation we will discuss the differences between an un-managed and a managed blockchain service, and a framework to consider when evaluating if blockchain should make it into our cloud strategy.
