LKMUG - Azure Blockchain for Developers
Secure
Uses cryptography to create
transactions that are impervious to
fraud and establishes a shared truth.
Shared
Blockchain value is directly linked to the
number of organizations or companies that
participate in them. There is huge value to
even the fiercest of competitors to participate
with each other in these shared database
implementations.
Distributed
There are many replicas of the
blockchain database. In fact, the more
replicas there are the more authentic it
becomes.
Ledger
The database is
“write once” so it is
an immutable
record of every
transaction that
occurs.
Blockchain is a secure, shared, distributed ledger
Data is stored in a ledger

When your project meets certain criteria
Answering a few questions can determine if blockchain
is appropriate
Can intermediaries
be removed?
Is there a
requirement for
verification?
Do multiple
parties share data?
Is this a business
process that crosses
trust boundaries?
Blockchain shows tremendous potential across
industries

Starbucks empowers each
member of its supply chain
Over the next two years, we will look to demonstrate
how technology and innovative data platforms can
give coffee farmers even more financial
empowerment
— Kevin Johnson
Starbucks CEO
Challenge • Starbucks needed increased visibility into the
movement of beans across its vast supply
chain
• 97% of farmers are small hold/one-acre farms
that have difficulty scaling production to meet
demand
Solution • Use blockchain based smart contracts to
define the responsibilities of each supply
chain participant and record their activities
• Provides immutable proof-of-end purchase to
farmers enabling access to higher quality
credit
• Monitor the movement of beans from farm to
pour using a shared, cloud-based app
And reinforces trust from farmers to customers
Farmers
Starbucks Customers
Farmers are financially empowered…
• Understand downstream movement of
their product and better forecast demand
• Receive immutable “proof-of-end
purchase” from Starbucks
• Establish creditworthiness to access
higher
quality credit and expand operations
Starbucks receives
immutable record of…
• Bean provenance
• Inventory state changes and
movement
Customers enjoy
increased transparency…
• Into the individual region
• The farm origin of the coffee
• Tactics used to farm
their high-end coffee
Using blockchain to reinforce trust from farmer to customer
Carrier
Authenticity is verified and beans
are delivered to the factory
Customer
At purchase can view certifications,
origin, and other quality details with
assurances from farm to pour
Manufacturer
Containers are verified and
coffee is processed and
bagged
Small Hold Farmer
Produce coffee beans under specified conditions
to earn organic and Fair Trade certifications.
Receive “proof of end purchase” from Starbucks
they can use to access credit for next years
harvest
Retailer
The bags reach the retailer having been
accounted for at each step of the journey

XBOX | Blockchain for royalty payments
Challenge
Microsoft wanted to replace the
complicated, manual royalty calculation
process used to pay XBOX publishers with a
faster, more efficient approach
Strategy
Microsoft developed a blockchain-based
solution that automated processes to offer
XBOX royalty information in near real time
while maximizing security and transparency
Results
• Improved trust by making the royalty
payment calculation process more
transparent for publishers
• Gave publishers actionable business
insights, enabling them to proactively
respond to customer demand
• Reduced XBOX process efforts by two
thirds and saved publishers time by
eliminating the need for manual audits
“We are developing an ecosystem within the gaming industry that connects developers and publishers
to game performance. Providing near real-time access to data greatly improves the process’
effectiveness and insights that lead to a more enriching experience for the partners.”
— Tim Stuart, Chief Financial Officer of Xbox

LKMUG - Azure Blockchain for Developers
Blockchain has not been built for enterprise
Getting off the island - Integration
There are a number of challenges to
integrate a blockchain with existing IT
architecture
Enterprise-grade Ledgers
Ledgers designed for public network
cryptocurrencies lack the performance,
confidentiality, and governance
capabilities needed for commercial use
Smart contracts
Smart contracts were not designed to
leverage existing enterprise tools and skill
sets

Our Vision
• Industry solutions
• Consortium setup and management
• Extended platform features
Choose the ledger technology that meets your
needs

  • #3: Hello, my name is __________ and today I want to talk with you about how you can capitalize on the value of blockchain with Microsoft Azure Blockchain.   T: Let’s get started. <CLICK>
  • #10: When Starbucks needed to increase visibility into the movement of beans across its vast supply chain, they worked with Microsoft to build a blockchain-based application to connect their supply chain participants. Starbucks said that the goals of the project are to: Contribute to farmers’ financial independence and confidence While cultivating empathy among consumers Through what it hopes will constitute a clear, visible connection between the products they enjoy and the people that farm them.  “Traceability technology could have profound implications for connecting coffee drinkers to the farmers who grow it,” said Arthur Karuletwa, Director of Traceability at Starbucks. He continued to say, “This could be a seismic change in an industry that hasn’t had much innovation in the way coffee moves across borders and oceans.” T: Starbucks’ blockchain application will benefit each stakeholder in the supply chain. <CLICK>
  • #11: Starbucks’ new app reinforces trust among all of blockchain members and allows every stakeholder on the supply chain to track a bean’s movement. It shows—most importantly—provides small farmers with an immutable “proof of end purchase” from Starbucks that helps them get high-quality loans and avoid predatory lenders.   Starbucks receives an immutable record of bean provenance and inventory state changes allowing them to track their product from farm to pour. And it informs the end customers where their coffee came from through increased transparency into the region, farm origin, and the tactics used to produce their favorite coffee. T: This app along with thousands of others have been built on Azure   <CLICK>
  • #12: Starbuck’s premier blockchain application provides visibility across the value chain, delivering benefits to Starbucks, farmers, and customers alike. Starting with small hold farmers on the network, the blockchain solution checks to make sure it is produced according to specified organic and Fair Trade conditions. From there, the condition and state of the beans is verified as it moves from carriers to manufacturers, and then by distributors to various Starbucks cafes. At purchase, customers can view the coffee’s certifications, as well as information about its origins. T: Now let’s look at an exchange application in action. <click>
  • #13: Challenge Microsoft used a complicated, manual method to calculate royalties for XBOX publishers. Microsoft’s royalty process took 45 days, which delayed payments to publishers. Strategy Microsoft developed a blockchain-based solution that offers XBOX royalty information in near real time. Results Blockchain technology improved trust by making the royalty payment calculation process more transparent for publishers. Publishers gained actionable business insights, enabling them to proactively respond to customer demand. Blockchain technology reduced XBOX process efforts by two thirds and saved publishers time by eliminating the need for manual audits.

Providing near real-time access to data greatly improves the process’ effectiveness and insights that lead to a more enriching experience for the partners.”– Tim Stuart (Chief Financial Officer of Xbox) T: Shared business processes require a shared utility with shared apps. In order to build these apps, you need a flexible, durable, and scalable foundation.
