**Decentralised technology** is becoming increasingly significant and is influencing the way companies design their business models. By utilising decentralised systems, particularly blockchain technology, processes are undergoing fundamental change. Companies across all industries can thus increase transparency, security, and efficiency, opening up new opportunities and reshaping existing business models.
What makes decentralised technology stand out?
At its core, **decentralised technology** describes a distributed data structure where information is not stored centrally but is held across many computers simultaneously. One of the best-known forms is the blockchain, where data is stored in blocks and linked together using cryptographic methods. This creates an immutable and transparent database, making manipulation almost impossible.
Companies in the financial services sector use this technology to process payments faster and more securely. For example, startups like Bitwala enable cross-border transfers at lower costs, without relying on traditional banks. There are also pioneers in the real estate industry who have made the sale of luxury properties more transparent through blockchain-supported processes. For instance, a villa in Paris was sold faster and more securely using this technology[12][6].
Application examples of decentralised technology in practice
Many companies report that the use of decentralised systems has sustainably improved their processes. Here are some examples from different industries:
1. **Supply Chain Management:** Large logistics companies are using decentralised platforms to increase transparency in their supply chains. This allows every step from the manufacturer to the trading partner to be traced. This improves traceability for food or medicines and reduces the risk of fraud[16].
2. **Digital Art and Rights Management:** Within the creative sector, decentralised technologies enable artists to securely and distribute their works digitally as NFTs. Platforms such as Ujo Music assist music creators in managing their rights more transparently and receiving direct payment from users[6].
3. **Trading and Tokenisation:** Companies like Cryptowine offer the possibility to digitally tokenise physical goods, such as fine wines, which allows for trading without intermediaries and makes ownership and value appreciation transparent [4].
BEST PRACTICE with a client (name withheld due to NDA): A medium-sized engineering company reported that the introduction of a decentralised database significantly accelerated its internal documentation. This helped to reduce errors and make coordination processes with international partners more efficient.
