As blockchain continues to grow in notoriety as a transparent and secure transaction technology, companies are increasingly rolling out proof-of-concept projects, finding uses from data integration to connecting IoT devices.

The electronic, distributed ledger technology has the potential to eliminate huge amounts of record-keeping and disrupt IT in ways not seen since the internet arrived, according to some experts.
Banking and financial services were the first to embrace blockchain ledgers as their core business functions are ideally suited to its distributed nature, transparency and immutability as a system of record.
