Pietro Azzara’s Vision for Blockchain and Data Management
Pietro Azzara, reflecting on the significance of blockchain solutions, stated:
“Most companies do not exploit the full potential of their documental assets and face difficulties in managing these assets transparently and securely. However, an increasing number of companies are gradually becoming aware that innovation in data management is a key factor for business growth and that blockchain has the potential to help them move towards this direction. We are confident that more and more companies will start adopting blockchain solutions in their processes and their daily activities, also thanks to solutions like Dedit.io which makes the blockchain accessible to everyone with its intuitive design.”
