IBM Blockchain Platform is used to develop and manage the blockchain network of an insurance organization's solution with other companies. The main organization works as the Certificate Authority and the other companies make everyday transactions.
IBM Blockchain Platform is used to manage and change the chain code, review the peers and the peer's configuration, manage the channel, track the transactions that are made, etc.

We are a startup with a focus on developing next generation applications using enterprise blockchain. We use IBM Blockchain Platform for all blockchain-related development and offer solutions to our clients that are backed by IBP. We are addressing two business problems 1) we are simplifying how covid test results can be provided by the users/patient to the employers or business for easy and secure access and 2) we are working to improve traceability in the fashion & apparel supply chain.

We use IBM Blockchain Platform to develop students' projects for learning purposes. Students analyze the potential of Blockchain technology in several fields, like industry, legal, finance, commerce, [and] social relationships, and study its economic, social, and behavioral impact on people, procedures, and society. Then, they implement several uses cases using IBM Cloud and IBM Blockchain Platform and create a web app to show the implementation of this technology and several transactions.

IBM Blockchain Platform is helpful for maintaining and securing important and classified information to ensure everything is not only tracked but also managed safely. This platform is important for securing personnel files, medical files, and other sources of information that are often updated, transferred, or need to be tracked. The system is the best out there for what it does.

Currently, it's being used as the backbone infrastructure for a dApp healthcare solution startup. Our application will store a patient's EHR (electronic health records) while giving the patient full control over who can access it at any given time (doctors, hospitals, labs, etc). This way, the patient can easily access their EHRs through an app and can even transfer EHRs between hospitals if needed.

We are in the insurance industry, so we are doing a lot of contracts. With digitalization, we were finding ways to not use paper but, in the past, there was an issue of trust with regard to sourcing. With the introduction of blockchain, we found the answer to that concern because blockchain can trace changes. Hence we implemented this to solve issues for our partners who we have to sign contracts with.

IBM Blockchain Platform was used in a proof-of-concept project to demonstrate cases to prevent insurance fraud. A common ledger created and accessed by multiple organizations where they can share selective data with each other. This bridge was used for communicating encrypted client details to prevent fraud.

In NuArca we are using IBM Blockchain Platform to solve real problems. We have several products based on blockchain. We used this across the projects and departments. We are solving several business problems with it. For example, we've built a voting solution, certificate solution, and an asset distribution solution. We are partnering with several US companies to provide these solutions to them.

We use the IBM Blockchain Platform for security, privacy and data-integrity when it comes to collaborating on digital assets. A use case would be for the negotiable trade finance instruments allowing consensus in trust between parties. Other use cases that we are involved with are similar. The business requirement for siloed parties to collaborate securely and adhere to the GDPR privacy regulation and compliance while creating trust and data-integrity in the digital asset that is being collaborated on.

IBM Blockchain Platform is being used in Casey, our soon-to-be-released COVID-19 case management system. Casey uses IBM Blockchain Platform to manage and deploy our Hyperledger Fabric applications. IBM Blockchain Platform helps us to be confident that we are always using best practices in our development journey.

It was being used by the COE department where blockchain POCs were built. We generally build all the solutions from scratch. But then we compared it to using IBM Blockchain Platform alongside manual deployment on other cloud-based Kubernetes clusters manually. Use cases range from healthcare to finance applications.

Our company uses IBM Blockchain Platform and Hyperledger Fabric as a backbone element of our service offerings. We use Hyperledger Fabric as part of an assurance process between various parties in high-value financial transactions where fraud and malfeasance risks weigh heavily. While Hyperledger Fabric is an excellent technology on its own, the IBM Blockchain Platform allows us to develop and test code far easier.

We are using IBM Blockchain Platform for the openIDL, a private, permission blockchain network serving the P&C insurance market. Our platform supports the aggregation of policy and claims data in a private, harmonized data store, that is then accessible for regulatory reporting.
