Blockchain is a kind of technology that is revolutionising how we do business. Blockchain is incredibly safe, traceable, and dependable, thanks to its decentralised network and simplified operations. Blockchain facilitates the transfer of financial transaction records (referred to as ‘blocks’) among numerous computers, which cannot be altered, destroyed or deleted. In this course, we'll explain many terminologies used in blockchain technology and break down the technical side of it into easily understandable parts. We introduce you to blockchain technology and some of the best practices and concepts in the blockchain industry. Then, you'll learn about 'Request for Proposals (RFPs)', their benefits and why they are important for solution engineers. Moving on, we discuss some approaches to how blockchain creates value for customers and how to calculate the return on investment on blockchain projects.
As a sales engineer focused on driving revenue to your enterprise, it is crucial to know how to sell blockchain-related services. As a result, knowing some of the cost considerations while working with your customer base or enterprise is vital. Identify potential costs associated with a blockchain and some criteria clients look for when attempting to integrate blockchain technology into their businesses. After that, we'll compare the differences between cryptocurrencies and blockchain, including some of the common technicalities of blockchain. You will learn about its key components and functions, including some enterprise blockchains such as Ethereum, R3 Corda and more. You'll analyse how blockchain uses a consensus algorithm for mining cryptocurrencies and the differences between permission and permissionless blockchains.
Next, we'll explore trusted and trustless blockchains and highlight their advantages and disadvantages. You will study the specifics of some enterprise blockchains and learn about hashing and its importance to blockchain technology. We'll provide you with resources that will help you gain better insights into blockchain terminologies and show you how to use the Saas application of IBM to create a blockchain network. This video-based course is ideal for presales engineers, post-sales engineers, systems/solutions engineers, enterprise engineers and anyone interested in knowing how the blockchain works. Learners need basic networking and database knowledge as well as technical sales experience. Blockchains are essential to understand because they eliminate the need for a trusted authority or centralised server to manage flaws in digital cash transactions.
