SUMMARY OF KEY QUESTIONS ABOUT ENTERPRISE BLOCKCHAINS

This business study investigates real use cases of (the) blockchain in enterprises. It aims to understand its practicability and advantages as well as the cost savings it facilitates, comparing it to current solutions and possible alternatives.
The most central question that has hitherto remained unanswered is the expected operational cost as well as benefits of an Enterprise Blockchain solution that goes beyond a simple proof of concept, especially in comparison to alternative solutions (e.g. SaaS solutions).
Another central question that even developers have not been able to answer so far, is how costs develop when moving from a public Blockchain (expensive) to a private one and what facilitates this? Moreover, the questions arises what use cases are realistic when this happens?
Furthermore, the value add of a decentralized solution needs to be examined for each use case, especially in the context of Enterprise Blockchains that are meant to solve other issues such replacement of legacy IT and digitalization. That is to say that one needs to ask whether the effort for a decentral IT aligned with the benefits and the market structure.
