Forrester Research has released a new report debunking 11 popular myths about enterprise blockchains that have dominated the past decade. The document sheds light on how perceptions of the technology evolved and where reality diverged from expectations.
Among the myths addressed are the belief that blockchain solves all corporate data issues and the assumption that the technology is indispensable for every industry. The report highlights how many projects faced integration challenges and incurred unjustified costs.
However, Forrester also underscores success stories: where blockchain is applied wisely, it delivers real value. Examples include supply chain management, data governance, and enhancing operational transparency.
This report is a reminder that every tech trend comes with both opportunities and limitations. Blockchain’s true potential is realized only with a clear and realistic assessment of its applications.
