AT&T Launches Suite of Enterprise Blockchain Solutions Using Tech From IBM, Microsoft

U.S. telecommunications giant AT&T has announced the creation of a suite of blockchain solutions designed to work with tech from IBM and Microsoft, according to AT&T's September 26 press release.

AT&T's blockchain solutions - which will work with the IBM Blockchain Platform for data recording and Microsoft Azure's blockchain technology - aim to "Bring additional transparency and accountability to even the most complex supply chains" for its enterprise customers.

The telecoms company's blockchain-based suite plans to develop the digitalization of enterprise customers' business processes, noting that industries including manufacturing, retail, and healthcare can utilize the solutions.

"Blockchain improves security and enables better management of transactions through complex processes."

Back in August, Microsoft's cloud platform Azure had announced a new Ethereum proof-of-authority algorithm that would allow for a "More efficient" way of building decentralized applications.

IBM, together with Danish transport and logistics giant Maersk, had successfully launched a blockchain solution involving 94 organizations and 154 million shipping events, Cointelegraph reported.
