SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Globant
(NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native technology services company,
released its 2019 Blockchain Technology Business Guide -- a
resource for organizations considering investing in blockchain
integrations. The report found that while 64 percent of
organizations surveyed already consider blockchain a current tech
initiative, enthusiasm toward blockchain has yet to translate into
readiness. Less than half of surveyed organizations (46 percent)
feel prepared to effectively use blockchain to improve their
internal operations.
To better understand business perspectives about blockchain,
Globant surveyed over 650 senior level decision makers in
marketing, IT and operations about their priorities and goals for
blockchain technology. The report places a focus on determining
what steps organizations need to take to go from being excited
about blockchain to executing on blockchain.
"Blockchain implementation is different for every organization,
so it's imperative for business leaders to have a unified idea of
what their integration will look like," said Diego Tartara, CTO Latin America at Globant.
"The technology as such usually requires a shift in paradigm to
adopt it, thus sharing core objectives for the technology is key
for a successful blockchain integration. "
The report outlines the state of blockchain investment and the
pain points for adoption. Key takeaways include:
- Most organizations are in the early stages of blockchain
initiatives: Forty-two percent of organizations surveyed are
still in the discovery phase of their blockchain journey.
Meanwhile, only one-fourth of organizations (28 percent) have
selected their first vendor or have already moved on to another
provider.
- Blockchain technology provides an opportunity to improve
inefficient data systems: Ninety percent of organizations
report they waste time daily tracking down or sharing digital
information, and almost one-in-four (24 percent) of these
organizations waste over an hour of time. Blockchain technology can
help decentralize data for easier access and sharing.
- The presence of blockchain can help boost consumer
confidence: 71 percent of decision makers believe that the
implementation of blockchain technology can help boost customers'
confidence in an organization's ability to protect their data.
"Blockchain brings a whole new level of accessibility and trust
to an organization's digital information," said Alvaro Gareppe,
technical director at Globant. "While before companies struggled to
find information buried in inefficient digital systems, blockchain
technologies decentralize information in a way that allows for much
faster sharing of company assets. Similarly, blockchain can help
build trust both internally and externally."
