1Seize The Day: Public Blockchain Is On The HorizonGet startedExamine The Limitations Of Private Blockchain And Benefits Of Public Blockchain To Make The Most Of This Technology Opportunity FORRESTER OPPORTUNITY SNAPSHOT: A CUSTOM STUDY COMMISSIONED BY EY | NOVEMBER 20192Consider Public Blockchain To Escape The Limitations Of Private NetworksAlthough the technology is still in its early stages, organizations have already started to plan for, pilot, and implement blockchain. To date, enterprises have almost exclusively chosen to work with private/permissioned blockchains, a choice driven largely by fear of public blockchain networks.1 And this fear is often due to a lack of understanding of how public blockchain networks operate. But as private blockchain projects get underway, firms are quickly discovering their limitations.In August 2019, EY commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct three interviews and survey 233 decision makers in the US, Europe, and Asia to explore firms’ impressions and experiences with blockchain technology broadly and public blockchain specifically. Key FindingsThough most firms are currently leveraging private blockchain, there is growing interest in public blockchain: 75% of respondents are likely to use public blockchain in the future.Firms may be trying to force the technology to do things it was never intended to do. This is especially prominent with privacy and confidentiality concerns.Interoperability is a key concern for private blockchain, which is exacerbated when firms start their own private networks. Leveraging a public blockchain could ease this problem.OverviewSituationApproachOpportunityConclusionSEIZE THE DAY: PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN IS ON THE HORIZONOverviewFORRESTER OPPORTUNITY SNAPSHOT: A CUSTOM STUDY COMMISSIONED BY EY | NOVEMBER 20193“What are the key drivers causing your organization to consider blockchain generally?”Rank 1Preservation of data integrityAbility to build new revenue/business modelsIncreased operational efficiencyReduced costsIncreased transparencyPressure to match competitors adopting blockchainPressure to join a blockchain network started by another company or consortium in our ecosystemRank 2Rank 3Data Integrity Preservation And New Business Model Creation Drive Blockchain UseWhy leverage blockchain? Most often, firms consider blockchain because of a desire to improve their business, rather than a need to keep up with competitors or pressure from their peers. Specifically, the need to preserve data integrity and the ability to build new revenue or business models are the top drivers for more than half of all respondents. Additional factors include the desire to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs. Pressure to join a network started by another company, however, is not a key driver. This, as we’ll see, may be part of the reason most firms are starting their own networks, which, in turn, leads to interoperability issues down the line. Base: 212 director+ blockchain decision ma
