faster, with less risk of failure
Use
case deep-dive service bridges the critical gap between identified potential
blockchain use cases and production-ready solutions
Independent viability tests speed up time to market for viable
blockchain use cases
Fujitsu announces a powerful new service to
help customers accelerate the enterprise development of blockchain solutions –
ensuring they meet strategic objectives from business, technology and legal
perspectives. The new Fujitsu 360 Degree Blockchain Use Case Deep-Dive service
tests critical viability, focusing on existing use cases and
identifies the application components needed to build a production-ready
blockchain application. It also identifies and provides routes to minimize risk
exposure from any flaws and pitfalls in the use case.
Blockchain has the
potential to create new business models and to transform businesses, through
providing a new, permissioned approach for processing transactions. However,
many blockchain solutions struggle to cross the chasm between identified
potential use cases and production-ready solutions.
The new Fujitsu 360
Degree Blockchain Use Case Deep-Dive service addresses this weak point in the development
of blockchain for enterprise, providing independent analysis and advice from blockchain experts. Customers gain access
to unbiased, third-party expertise for examination of potential blockchain use
cases, including the overall architecture, business and legal context, for identification
of potential risks, and even for checking blockchain code. Co-creating with
Fujitsu also provides opportunities to restart stalled blockchain projects, through
the introduction of new code.
Frederik de
Breuck, Head of Fujitsu’s Blockchain Innovation Center, comments: “Co-creation
is in Fujitsu’s DNA. We work closely with customers to identify flaws, pitfalls
and potential risks for each individual blockchain use case – with tactical and
strategic guidance to reduce the overall risk and improve the
production-readiness of customers’ plans. Customers gain the confidence that
proposed blockchain solutions have passed critical viability and reliability
tests. Any blockchain use case that doesn’t reach the required standards can
either be stopped at an early enough stage, avoiding wasted time and money – or
can be reinvigorated, thanks to Fujitsu’s deep blockchain know-how.”
Fujitsu Blockchain Innovation Center
The new 360 Degree
Blockchain use case deep-dive service is provided by the Fujitsu
Blockchain Innovation Center in Brussels, Belgium, which opened in
the spring of 2018. The center also provides a complementary rapid
blockchain
productization framework, enabling the development of a
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in just five days. The Brussels center illustrates Fujitsu’s commitment
to blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies as a means to
revolutionize the way consumers and enterprises buy, sell and exchange goods
and services and for organizations to transform their commercial and
operational models. Fujitsu aims to develop blockchain beyond financial
services – where it has already created widespread disruption to business
models – as a new architecture for information systems and sectors of all
kinds.
Fujitsu’s deep-dive blockchain offering
The overall Fujitsu
deep-dive blockchain offering comprises four key stages: Workshop, Assessment,
Report Preparation and Delivery, with agile project management techniques
applied throughout. The initial workshop
examines each potential use case in detail and is designed to enable
consultants to gain a solid understanding of customers’ business challenges in
the context of their overarching strategy. This is followed by a research and assessment phase where
experts thoroughly examine all aspects of the potential deployment, from the
application and business architectures to the smart contract and frontend code.
Reviews typically take about five days.
All findings are
compiled into a management report,
which includes high-level design and sizing recommendations for the use case.
Fujitsu draws on insights gathered from hundreds of blockchain projects to
highlight the common pitfalls and offer solutions and recommendations. Finally,
the report is presented to the customer, providing not only the full analysis
of each aspect, but also recommendations and detailed next steps that enable
them to proceed with confidence.
Pricing and availability
The Fujitsu 360 Degree Blockchain use case deep-dive service is available
immediately in EMEIA, with prices starting at 14,900 Euro depending on the
complexity of the use case. Customers can request a deep-dive via their
in-country sales contact or via emeia.blockchaincenter@ts.fujitsu.com
