The Future of Blockchain Series Episode 2: Usage in Commercial Lines

Blockchain has incredible potential to streamline business functions and open up opportunities for a wide range of innovations

Blockchain provides a single source of truth that is kept up to date in real time and is accessible (through permissions) by all stakeholders. Having that source creates unprecedented efficiencies by eliminating much of the phone tag and other wastes of time that come with the document-sharing that characterizes so many processes in the insurance industry. This webinar dives into the technology’s use in commercial lines, highlighting production-ready use cases in surety bonds, workers’ comp and certificates of insurance. The possibilities are breath-taking.

Watch to learn:

  • Where blockchain is about to make a big impact  
  • The road map for the future of blockchain
  • The status of active use cases and their testing schedule
  • How you can prepare to reap the benefits
