IBM Blockchain Usage Patterns v1.3
- 1. IBM Blockchain Usage Patterns v1.3, 24 October 2019 Repeatable scenarios for blockchain success Blockchain Explained Series Blockchain Explained IBM Blockchain Platform Explained Solutions Explained Labs Explained What’s New IBM Blockchain Usage Patterns
- 2. Great examples Tried and trusted scenarios that are perfect fits for blockchain Integration patterns How blockchain can help take your existing middleware investment to the next level The golden rules The most important questions that will identify any good blockchain use-case
- 3. 3 Blockchain is a shared, replicated ledger § Blockchain lets you build a decentralized business network § Blockchain builds on basic business concepts § Business networks connect businesses § Participants with identity § Assets flow over business networks § Transactions describe asset exchange § Contracts underpin transactions § The ledger is a log of transactions § IBM Blockchain Platform allows you to build, operate and grow blockchain networks in heterogeneous environments
- 4. 4 IBM is the leader in enterprise blockchain technology Only blockchain platform that doesn’t lock you in to a single vendor Most advanced developer and operator tools that make network configuration simple Only enterprise blockchain platform with true multi- cloud capabilities IBM has more production blockchain networks than any other competitive platform IBMers are the undisputed enterprise blockchain experts We are the only provider of end to end enterprise blockchain services in the industry
- 5. 5 The golden rules for blockchain A business problem to solve An identifiable business network A requirement for trust in the network
- 6. 6 The importance of the business problem § Think of the only reasons businesses act: § Reaching new markets § Reducing cost § Managing risk § Regulator compliance § Which category of problem are you trying to solve? § IBM can run a blockchain value design exercise to help quantify return on investment § Are there new markets you cannot reach due to barriers to entry? § Are manual processes increasing the time it takes you to react? § Do you have a real-time view into your risk exposure? § How is the regulatory landscape changing in your industry?
- 7. 7 The importance of the business network § Blockchain only makes sense as part of a network § Multiple participants with relative autonomy § A successful blockchain requires collaboration between these participants § A good network ensures each participant is free to choose and change vendors, avoiding lock-in § Build on open standards (e.g. Linux Foundation Hyperledger) and use industry data formats § IBM Blockchain Platform can be deployed anywhere (IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, on-prem…) § Who is in your business network? § What value does each member of the network add? § Is there a mutual desire to change practices in your industry? § Do you have any partners who would be willing to collaborate with you?
- 8. 8 The importance of trust § Blockchain’s value proposition is cryptographic proof of a set of facts shared between participants § A good blockchain can therefore help engender mutual trust between participants § Look for single points of trust in the existing business network § Blockchain can help alleviate these § If single points of trust are insurmountable (e.g. through regulation or market dominance), this might suggest a database instead § How do you judge the reliability of partners in your business network? § How do you resolve disputes in your business network? § How many sources of truth are there in the business network? § How reliant are you on a single upstream/downstream partner?
- 9. 9 Challenges and opportunities § Convening a blockchain network is hard § Requires industry and business network knowledge § Blockchain is a small part of any overall solution § Inertia, particularly from market leaders § However, the rewards are bigger than the sum of the individual opportunities in the business network § Give business stakeholders a reason to act now § Look for competitive advantage § Fear of loss (e.g. from challengers) is a good motivator § Start small, demonstrate success and grow § IBM Labs can help § What are your competitors doing with blockchain? § What is their incentive for changing the status quo? § Who will lose out if their business network became more efficient? “50 Things That Made the Modern Economy”, Tim Harford

- 17. 17 Hyperledger Fabric network using IBM Blockchain Platform MQ (or other) network MQ network Basic pattern for integrated business networks § Is there data in any of your systems of record that could benefit your business partners? § How do you ensure that the information shared in your business network remains correct? § Where is your network’s source of truth? What happens when disputes occur? MY BUSINESS Shared processes Smart contracts Shared data Distributed ledgers My processes Systems My data Databases Your processes Systems Your data Databases Integrated network Integrated organizations YOUR BUSINESS
- 18. 18 Using MQ and blockchain to lower the costs of audit and compliance § Financial and compliance data in a large organization is spread through many divisions and geographies § Auditors and regulators need indelible proof of key transactions and adherence to process § Collating this proof can be costly and time consuming § Risk and financial position often lags reality § Blockchain + MQ creates a high confidence audit trail § Tamperproof blockchain reliably updated by MQ § MQ provides resilient tx buffer before blockchain § Business owners view real-time transaction data § Changes compliance from passive to active § Can you identify your financial and risk position in real-time? § What is the cost of collection for audit and regulation compliance? § Do you gather status from multiple systems of record?

- 21. 21 Leverage your SAP ERP investment with blockchain and ACE • Blockchain assets can be instantiated from SAP business objects, to allow for sharing with partners – More reliable data, increased trust, more efficient B2B – Real-time inventory updates – Always with appropriate privacy and confidentiality: choose what to share with whom • Method: Use shadow-ledger pattern to stage movement of shareable SAP BO data to blockchain 1. Select small subset of ERP business objects to move to blockchain based on partner relationships 2. Use ACE integration flows to transition assets to agreed blockchain format 3. Blockchain becomes the point of truth for the network; automated dispute resolution targets blockchain first 4. If asset not there, just fall back to SAP ERP 5. Scale more assets to blockchain as business allows 6. SAP retained for private ERP data or oracle-style lookups § How reliable is your ERP inventory? § Does your ERP represent a single point of trust / single point of failure? § How long does it take to settle disputes with vendors? Business Object Shareable Asset Data Shared Asset SAP ACE Blockchain share extract transform load
- 22. 22 Share files with partners with MQ MFT and blockchain • A huge amount of data originates from or is stored in files – Files provide a universal way of easily generating and consuming data for processing – Reliably moving file contents, bridging to other systems of record is difficult outside of enterprise boundary – Files can often be easily tampered with; difficult to achieve non-repudiation when shared with partners • MQ MFT solves the problem of reliable file transfer within an organization; blockchain gives partners access to this data – Bulk load of file data to prime blockchain world state with file based data – Transactional processing of records as they land in file – blockchain expands scope of processing to partners – Blockchain provides immutable log of a known state § What proportion of enterprise data is stored in file-based systems of record? § Would sharing information from files provide mutual benefit to your business network? § How reliable is file sharing outside of your enterprise? Is it subject to tampering? ACEFile producer MQ MFT Blockchain Rec1 Rec2 Rec3 move split share
