Blockchain will fundamentally change business by enabling shared, replicated, and permissioned ledgers across business networks. This allows participants to streamline processes, reduce risks through transparency, and create new forms of value. IBM's blockchain strategy involves collaborating to build industry solutions on their blockchain platform and ecosystem. Their TradeLens solution digitizes the global supply chain by connecting participants on a blockchain network for real-time information sharing, collaboration, and innovation.

This document provides an overview of the anatomy of a Hyperledger application. It describes the key components including the Hyperledger architecture, application components, smart contracts, permissioned ledger access, and how applications interact with the blockchain network. The Hyperledger architecture supports various participants like developers, users, and network operators. Applications use smart contracts to interact with the ledger, while smart contracts encapsulate business logic and transactions. Permissioned access controls who can access the ledger through the use of certificates. The document also provides examples of how applications, smart contracts, and external systems integrate with the permissioned ledger.

This document discusses blockchain technology and its potential applications. It begins by explaining key concepts of blockchain like distributed ledgers, cryptography, consensus models, and smart contracts. It then outlines several potential use cases for blockchain across different industries like financial services, property, government services, and the internet of things. Finally, it discusses factors that will influence the future of blockchain like interoperability, scalability, and security.

The document discusses blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric. It provides an overview of blockchain concepts like distributed ledgers, consensus mechanisms, and permissioned vs permissionless networks. It then summarizes Hyperledger Fabric, describing it as a modular blockchain framework that allows for pluggable consensus algorithms and private transaction capability. Finally, it introduces Hyperledger Composer as a suite of tools that simplify blockchain application development on Hyperledger Fabric.

This document outlines steps for completing two Hyperledger Composer workshops on deploying and testing sample business networks. The first lab guides users through deploying an existing car auction sample network on the Composer playground and testing basic transactions. The second lab instructs users to create their own business network by defining assets, participants and transactions.

Hyperledger Fabric is a blockchain framework for enterprise use. It was designed from the ground up to address enterprise needs like confidentiality, scalability, and flexibility. Some key features include built-in privacy using channels, pluggable consensus algorithms, and multiple programming languages for writing smart contracts. It uses an endorsement and validation process to ensure transactions are valid before being added to the ledger. Membership services provide identity features and Hyperledger Composer helps speed application development.

An experienced team including former consultants from IBM and CSC is launching a new SaaS platform called Loansquare to digitize financing activities for banks, corporations, and municipalities. Loansquare aims to improve processes in the structured finance sector by providing a multi-bank portal for clients, digitizing interactions, and standardizing data. The platform offers services for deal origination, syndication, servicing, and more. Loansquare is currently in development with 50+ prospects and plans to go live in Q3 2017. The company also sees potential to leverage blockchain technology for the platform going forward.

This document discusses how blockchain can transform the global trade ecosystem by taking costs out, improving efficiencies, and increasing accessibility. It notes current challenges like siloed processes, paper documentation, and physical contracts. It then describes how a blockchain network involves regulators, developers, operators, and users. IBM's blockchain architecture is explained as being built from the ground up for business with features like permission, privacy, auditability. Finally, it argues blockchain could help various trade participants like banks, logistics companies, ports, and insurers by streamlining processes like invoices, letters of credit, bills of lading, and compliance checks.
