The HUMAN element in Digital Transformation

 #COVID19 has accelerated digital transformation across many industries and is turning out to be the impetus for a new breed of "intrapreneurs" to build solutions for the modern workplace, and the best way to go about this is to understand and address the human element in "Digital Transformation" before jumping on to new tools and technology.

Here are just a few thoughts on some of the key elements.

Usecase: Blockchain in Auditing

Usecase: Blockchain in Auditing

As we see more scenarios like Wirecard playout (where $2B vanished from its balance sheet), regulators and stakeholders are likely to push to validate entries in the “ledger books” of large organizations by themselves without having to wait for an audit report.

In the future releases of the SAP HANA’s blockchain adapter, we could see a connector that can host data from the blockchain virtual tables in the HANA databases with a secure login that allows regulators and stakeholders direct access into organization’s ledger databases & reports.

This could mean the end of compiling & lodgement of corporate reporting, and perhaps even auditing of reports altogether! ⏳🕵️‍♀️
