Join this session to examine blockchain technologies from a RIM perspective. What is blockchain technology and how does it work? What are the most common information management applications of blockchain technology? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Will a blockchain-based solution actually add value?
Learning Objectives:
- Explain at a high level what blockchain technologies are and how they work
- Identify RIM applications for which blockchain technologies are useful, and those for which their application is currently just hype
- Develop guidelines for the implementation and application of blockchain solutions to those problems for which technology is best suited
