Microsoft and Bank of America Merrill Lynch Collaborate to Transform Trade Finance Transacting With Azure Blockchain as a Service
Today at Sibos, an annual conference organized by SWIFT for the financial industry, Microsoft Corp. and Bank of America Merrill Lynch announced a collaboration on blockchain technology to fuel transformation of trade finance transacting.
As part of this collaboration, the two companies will build and test technology, create frameworks, and establish best practices for blockchain-powered exchanges between businesses and their customers and banks. Microsoft Treasury experts will serve as advisors and initial test clients, establishing the first Microsoft Azure-powered blockchain transaction between a major corporate treasury and financial institution.
“By working with Bank of America Merrill Lynch on cloud-based blockchain technology, we aim to increase efficiency and reduce risk in our own treasury operations,” said Amy Hood, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Microsoft. “Businesses across the globe – including Microsoft – are undergoing digital transformation to grow, compete, and be more agile, and we see significant potential for blockchain to drive this transformation.”
Currently, underlying trade finance processes are highly manual, time-consuming and costly. With blockchain, processes can be digitized and automated, transaction settlement times shortened, and business logic applied to related data, creating a host of potential benefits for businesses and financial institutions including: more predictable working capital, reduced counterparty risk, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced audit transparency, among other benefits.
“The potential benefits of blockchain will help drive meaningful supply chain efficiencies to the clients of both Microsoft and the bank. This project is another example of our continued commitment to introduce financial innovations for the betterment of global commerce,” said Ather Williams, head of Global Transaction Services at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
“We are excited to be working with Microsoft on this groundbreaking blockchain proof of concept that has the potential to help redefine, digitize, and improve how trade finance instruments are executed today,” said Percy Batliwalla, head of Global Trade and Supply Chain Finance at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Microsoft Azure Blockchain as a Service was first introduced in November 2015. The global scale, hybrid cloud capabilities, extensive compliance certification portfolio, and enterprise-proven security of Azure provide businesses with confidence and choice, especially in highly regulated industries like financial services, health care and government. More than 80 percent of the world’s largest banks are Azure customers. Furthermore, more than 75 percent of the global systemically important financial institutions are using Azure, representing the highest bar for legal, compliance, security and acquisitions teams.
Development and testing of the initial application, built to optimize the standby letter of credit process, is currently in progress. The Microsoft and Bank of America Merrill Lynch teams will demonstrate the technology at Sibos in Geneva, Switzerland. Following the initial development and testing, the teams will work to refine the technology and evaluate applications to include more complex use cases and additional financial instruments.

Oh my gosh! I can not believe myself. You indeed found me plagiarizing. On the first plagiarism topic you missed to bring
He doesn't need merit anymore, but he continues making these posts.
He made the posts when he needed merit.
And he continues to make them when he doesn't need merit.
Do I really need to break down the logic behind why it's stupid to call him a merit whore?
Now I have generally refused to use someone else's material when creating some kind of guide, only my own research.
TwitchySeal, see what he said. It means he does not continue making these posts [posts articles and don't give credit to the source]. On the other hand, in your logic you missed some other considerations too.
The feedback was left one and half or more years ago when it was a fact, at that time he was earning all those merit by [1]making topics without giving credit to the sources [2] spamming the reputation boards with his self praised topics [3] there were many other evidences of his merit whoring. The merit whoring was obvious at that time.
Now let's forget, fuck Ratimov case.
Consider someone who made mistake in the past, got neutral or red feedback from one forum member. The feedback was left based on the fact at that time [old time].
After few years if the user improves, he could just write a civilized message with some evidences of his improvements and request to revise the feedback that was left. Or do you suggest him to leave a counter salty feedback with personal notes like the following
Trust abuser. Writes false tags because of his grievances and thirst for revenge. Once I told him not to spread his flood in my topic, and after that he harbored a grudge against me and began to look for any reason to hook me somehow. In essence, a two-faced person who has double standards. What he condemns in others, he gladly does himself. On the forum, he showed himself as someone who does not know how to protect his digital property, so his account was hacked. [..sniped he part that can consider technically true..]
The bold fonts, what kind of personal notes are these? JOKES?
Lol.
.. I get it that sometimes you can be pissed to the point of getting the lines blurred but its best to settle this via a PM because truth is, calling out each other here won't change anything, rather it would only give you guys a negative impression on the newbies.
