  Type: Essential Guide

  Blockchain is a digital, decentralised, distributed ledger that provides a way for information to be recorded, shared and maintained by a community (whether private or public). This research from Deloitte aims to identify where blockchain could have the greatest impact in the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry.

  The business applications for blockchain can be categorised by their impact on the consumer, the supply chain, and payments and contracts. Business leaders need to be strategic in choosing which parts of the businesses could benefit most from investment in blockchain.

  Technology, media and telecommunications predictions 2017

  Deloitte’s report looks at the things to come in 2017.

  Precise indoor navigation’s potential is significant, and could be transformative. It is likely to benefit most vertical sectors, impacting government, business and consumers alike. Indoor navigation is also likely to be used for people and things, to locate rapidly items of value in a range of locations, from tools in a workshop, goods in a warehouse, parts on a factory floor, to suitcases in the hold of a plane.

  Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, a form of cyber attack, will become larger in scale, harder to mitigate, and more frequent. Deloitte expects there will be on average a terabit/s (Tbit/s) attack per month and over 10 million attacks in total during the year. The average attack size will be between 1.25 and 1.5 gigabits per second (Gbit/s) of junk data being sent. An unmitigated Gbit/s attack (one whose impact was not contained), would be sufficient to take many organisations offline.

  Global sales of tablets in 2017 will be fewer than 165 million units, down by approximately 10% from   182 million units sold in 2016. The fall, whilst modest, suggests that demand for the tablet – once regarded as the ‘Goldilocks’ device, being just the right size – has peaked, particularly after shipping more than 200 million units annually in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
