ABOUT THE CONTENT

While cryptocurrencies take most of the hype, Blockchain has potential to offer a new way for banks and insurance companies to transact. Enterprises are exploring how to use the underlying distributed ledger technology to achieve business objectives. Microsoft, IBM, HPE, Oracle, SAP and others are offering Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) to help enterprises by providing an architecture, infrastructure and resources to maintain and deploy Blockchain initiatives.
[push h=5]
Our industry panel will discuss lessons learned, experiences and recommendations in an informal fashion without recordings, press, or social media hampering our exchange of knowledge.
[push h=10]
We’ll examine:

• What is the impact of blockchain across banking and insurance?
• What are the top use cases from blockchain in financial services such as fraud reduction, speeding up and simplifying cross-border payments, underwriting, simplifying and accelerating Know Your Customer (KYC), improving share trading, claims processing, smart contracts, alternative risk transfer identity management, and customer loyalty and rewards?
• What is the opportunity for Blockchain to help create more efficient ecosystems for organizations to partner together?
• How can Blockchain reduce cost and time related to reconciliations and disputes resulting in simplified operations?
• What are the risks of a Blockchain network being run in a single cloud provider? What are the alternatives?
• What new business models may be created by using Blockchain?
• What are the enterprise specific challenges to financial institutions to implementing Blockchain including auditing/logging, enterprise integration, monitoring, regulatory, and authentication/authorization/accounting?
