Software AG revealed the availability of next generation Digital Business Platform capabilities that enable financial institutions to operationalize blockchain by gaining greater integration of, visibility into, and action upon public/private blockchain applications.

Nigel Farmer, Industry Director for Capital Markets at Software AG said, “That is where the fun starts; making blockchain applications work in the real world is as much of a challenge as building the blockchain application itself.”

They must be able to rapidly and seamlessly use blockchain to gain the advantages of the technology immediately without having to run complex, costly and lengthy re-architecting programs.

The Software AG Digital Business Platform provides- A blockchain access layer that seamlessly integrates blockchain with legacy technology for interoperability; The ability to correlate and validate data, and apply business context going into blockchain; Governance and security to enterprise or industry-wide blockchains; Event processing and data aggregation for complete visibility on- and off- chain activities; Monitoring, exception management and alerting of blockchain events; Overlay service layer to enrich functionality of blockchain apps.

Farmer concluded: “Software AG’s Digital Business Platform not only provides the necessary infrastructure, but enables them to operationalize this disruptive technology rapidly without disrupting the business and existing IT infrastructure.”
