Deloitte has launched a mobile, self-containedtechnology platform that offers intuitive, tangible blockchain demonstrationsand experimentations.
Dubbed as “blockchain in a box”, or BIAB, the platformhas the ability of hosting blockchain-based solutions across foursmall-form-factor compute nodes and three video displays, in addition tonetworking components that allow integration with external services, such ascloud-based systems. Each of these compute nodes accepts Secure Digital (SD)media cards, enabling easy and quick selection and exchange of demo solutionscustomised according to specific client requirements.
Linda Pawczuk, principal, Deloitte Consulting and USblockchain leader, said: “Deloitte custom built this solution based on clientinterest in understanding blockchain capabilities in live interactions. What’soften misunderstood about blockchain is that it is an entirety of a technologysolution — when in reality, it’s a technology component that enables largerbusiness applications and approaches. Our mobile demonstration is practical,tactical and most importantly, tangible to clients.”
The BIAB solution was also demonstrated to several Deloitteclients, along with a broader blockchain and emerging technology community atmultiple conferences, including the Consensus 2019 event.
Deloitte was also among the list of 20 blue chip and crypto companies that was recently selected by IDEO CoLab to launch Startup Studio – a new blockchain accelerator. According to IDEO CoLab Ventures’ MD, Ian Lee, the new initiative will see all partners hosting acceleration programmes to provide enterprising blockchain entrepreneurs and companies with the necessary tools and funding they need to promote the development, adoption, and impact of the blockchain technology.
