SophiaTX – The Blockchain Platform to Redefine Business Models

SophiaTX is a new innovative project led by Equidato Technologies AG, to launch an open source platform aimed at connecting the world of enterprise applications and blockchain. The SophiaTX platform, suitable for businesses of all sizes, will allow a global community of SAP experts, consultants and developers to deliver blockchain capabilities to enterprises across all industries.  The adoption is supported by a marketplace which includes APIs and common building blocks, specifically developed for widely-used ERP and CRM systems and other business applications which will allow for inter-connectivity with their respective APIs all supported by the blockchain network.

Whilst the traditional approach focuses on protecting the company’s internal IT environment, this new approach is driven by fast-paced technological advancements and competitive forces which take it beyond a business’ traditional walls. The potential uses and related benefits of connecting business applications with blockchain are numerous and are in fact likely to grow exponentially once more and more company processes are explored. Based on SAP’s corporate fact sheet from July 2017, 87% of the Forbes Global 2000 companies and 98% of the 100 most valued brands use SAP solutions.

An analysis by McKinsey & Company shows there has been a 31% average quarterly increase in VC capital inflows to blockchain-related companies between Q1 2013 and Q2 2016. That being said, it is clear that the right conditions are in place for innovative projects specializing in connecting blockchain and traditional enterprise solutions. “Businesses can no longer rely entirely on their own internal capabilities. New technologies, platforms and specialized services are emerging so quickly that in order to stay competitive companies must partner for innovation,” said Jaroslav Kacina, CEO of SophiaTX and Equidato Technologies AG.

At the beginning of the journey, 9 months ago, a detailed study was conducted during which more than 15 different use cases across all areas of SAP were identified and commercially validated. The focus was mainly on SAP and non-fintech areas to advance blockchain where others were lacking. The team has deliberately decided to work on practical cases that can be implemented quickly, without extensive regulations, as opposed to highly regulated sectors like banking.

The results were truly inspiring and confirmed not only that blockchain can significantly improve collaboration outside of finance, but that it can re-shuffle business ecosystems across a multitude of industries. “There are countless opportunities for blockchain uses in businesses and it is critical to combine industry-specific knowledge, technology experience in enterprise applications, and new innovative ideas stemming from Blockchain technology” says Jaroslav Kacina’s business partner and co-founder Matej Michalko, CEO of DECENT.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
