While many government leaders are actively involved with blockchain prototypes, live pilots, and active use case development, there is still is a limited view of what it comprises and how it will impact state organizations.  Blockchain’s influence in the public sector will evolve over the next several years, but the technology has the potential to bring efficiency and speed to a wide range of services and processes.
 
By joining this webinar, government finance and audit professionals can gain insights into blockchain dynamics, hear examples of how organizations are using the technology, and understand the potential for ROI around new revenue streams and cost savings.
 
By reducing dependence on existing intermediary institutions and their accompanying layers and costs, blockchain can potentially eliminate significant resource burdens. And by accelerating transactions and simultaneously lowering their costs, blockchain can help to eliminate layers of redundancy, ease regulatory compliance burdens, introduce recordkeeping efficiency, and generally smooth government operations across a number of areas.
 
Join us to learn blockchain fundamentals and how this technology may impact your role and organization.
