Design and Implementation of Blockchain-enabled Immutable and Interoperable Data Management System for Enterprise Systems

Abstract

As each organization has different enterprise systems, securely sharing and managing data between organizations is not an easy task. Blockchain technologies are a powerful tool to enable this, and many blockchain-based data storing methods have been proposed. However, they often take a rather tailor-made approach, meaning that a blockchain system needs to be developed to a specific underlying enterprise system. To fill this gap, we propose a flexible, immutable, and interoperable data storage system with blockchain. We demonstrated our system with construction companies’ contracts and progressive claims use-case.
