Maintenance of data integrity is a topic of major interest in the defense industry and this is something the blockchain technology is particularly renowned to provide. So, it seemed like a good move when Systems Planning and Analysis (SPA)—an analytic software development company—announced its collaboration with Factom, expert providers of the blockchain technology, in a bid to better serve the department of defense (DOD) and other federal customers.
Factom, a major provider of blockchain-as-a-service, has previously worked with the Department of Homeland Security, so it comes as no surprise that they’re gravitating towards the defense industry. The story isn’t so different for SPA either, a company specializing in data-driven, operational, technical and programmatic solutions for the defense industry. Therefore, with mutual experience in the industry, and the blend of analytic-based consulting with IT and blockchain solutions, this alliance may very well be a launching pad for lasting development in security for federal organizations.
Factom specializes in the development of business models that enable enterprises to benefit from the data assurance offered by blockchain. This coupled with SPA’s understanding of the peculiar challenges faced by the DOD and other federal customers presents a unique opportunity to develop actionable blockchain-based solutions that will enhance the security and efficiency of major federal institutions.
