A survey by KPMG of leaders at technology companies shows that more than 40% plan to roll out blockchain during the next three years.
Nearly half of IT execs in a recent survey believe blockchain will change the way their companies do business over the next three years, and that the top benefit blockchain will enable is improved business efficiency.
Along with the 48% who indicate blockchain will likely change business practices, 41% percent of respondents to a KPMG survey said they're "likely" or "very likely" to implement blockchain during the same timeframe.
"Based on the trajectory of blockchain in the marketplace and the number of clients in our portfolio who express an interest in implementing not just learning about blockchain, 41% is a surprisingly low number," Tegan Keele, KPMG's U.S. Blockchain Program leader, said in a blog post.
One "leading global tech organization" that KPMG helped deploy blockchain to track the shipment, lease lifecycle and financial management of employee laptops and tablets, now plans to scale the platform to other enterprise assets like servers, according to Keele.
