Brush Up On
Blockchain
BY JOHANNA PEREZ
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IS
often mentioned when speaking of
cryptocurrencies. But, it also affects
the supply chain, the Internet of
Things, health care, and a number of
other industries.
One of the key benefits
of blockchain technology is
decentralization-its ability to
distribute data and computing power
across multiple computers in an
organization's network-according to
a Yahoo Finance article.
" As blockchain technology
continues to evolve and expand into
business sectors, organizations must
understand how to properly integrate it
into their systems, " says course author
Hunter Albright, IEEE member and
co-chair for both the IEEE Blockchain
Initiative and its blockchain-enabled
transactive energy work.
