商品描述
Blockchain is the popular name given to the exciting, evolving world of distributed ledger technology (DLT). Blockchains offer equitable and secure access to data, as well as transparency and immutability. Organisations can decide to use blockchain to upgrade whatever ledgers they are currently deploying (for example, relational databases, spreadsheets and cumbersome operating models) for their data and technology stack in terms of books and records, transactions, storage, production services and in many other areas.
This book describes the applied use of blockchain technology in the enterprise world. Written by two expert practitioners in the field, the book is in two main parts: (1) an introduction to the history of, and a critical context explainer about, the emergence of blockchain written in natural language and providing a tour of the features, functionality and challenges of blockchain and DLT; and (2) a series of six applied organisational use cases in (i) trade finance, (ii) healthcare, (iii) retail savings & investments, (iv) real estate, (v) central bank digital currencies (CBDC) and (vi) fund management that offer the reader a straightforward, easy-to-read comparison between 'old world' technology (such as platforms, people and processes) versus what blockchain ledgers offer to enterprises and organisations in terms of improved efficiency, performance, security and access to business data.
Blockchain is sometimes tainted by association to Bitcoin, Onecoin and others. But as cryptocurrencies and stock markets continue to rise and fall with volatility and the world economy emerges changed by coronavirus, working from home and the threat of inflation, many enterprises, organisations and governments are looking again at the powerful features of blockchain and wondering how DLT may help them adapt. This book is an ideal introduction to the practical and applied nature of blockchain and DLT solutions for business executives, business students, managers, C-suite senior leaders, software architects and policy makers and sets out, clearly and professionally, the benefits and challenges of the actual business applications of blockchain.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
區塊鏈是分散式帳本技術（DLT）這個令人興奮且不斷演變的世界的通俗名稱。區塊鏈提供公平且安全的數據訪問，以及透明性和不可變性。組織可以選擇使用區塊鏈來升級他們目前部署的任何帳本（例如，關聯式資料庫、電子表格和繁瑣的操作模型），以改善其在書籍和記錄、交易、存儲、生產服務及許多其他領域的數據和技術堆疊。
本書描述了區塊鏈技術在企業世界中的應用。這本書由兩位該領域的專家撰寫，分為兩個主要部分：（1）用自然語言介紹區塊鏈的歷史及其出現的關鍵背景，並提供區塊鏈和DLT的特徵、功能和挑戰的概述；（2）六個應用組織案例的系列，包括（i）貿易融資、（ii）醫療保健、（iii）零售儲蓄與投資、（iv）房地產、（v）中央銀行數位貨幣（CBDC）和（vi）基金管理，為讀者提供一個簡單易讀的比較，展示「舊世界」技術（如平台、人員和流程）與區塊鏈帳本在提高效率、性能、安全性和商業數據訪問方面所提供的優勢。
區塊鏈有時會因與比特幣、Onecoin等的聯繫而受到影響。但隨著加密貨幣和股市持續波動，世界經濟因冠狀病毒而發生變化，居家工作和通脹威脅的影響，許多企業、組織和政府再次審視區塊鏈的強大特性，並思考DLT如何幫助他們適應。本書是商業高管、商業學生、經理、C-suite高層領導、軟體架構師和政策制定者了解區塊鏈和DLT解決方案的實用性和應用性的理想入門書，清晰且專業地闡述了區塊鏈實際商業應用的好處和挑戰。

Stephen Ashurst
By day, Stephen Ashurst is an independent software writer and wealth tech consultant. By night, a fintech entrepreneur.
