“Mass collaboration is the future of competitive advantage in business.” - Nick Wright, Crowdicity CEO
The proliferation of the Internet, mobile devices and social networking platforms have brought about a step-change in the way people communicate. The new patterns of user engagement facilitated by these technologies are most powerfully demonstrated in the protest movements of recent years, including Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring, but are evident in successful grassroots campaigns across almost every area of life.
At the same time, the rise of blockchain technology holds out a new paradigm for the storage and transfer of value and, through developments such as Ethereum’s smart contracts, the trustless and transparent execution of code.
Vizsafe.com has built its existing brand and platform around realtime mobile incident reporting, mapping and visual communications for facility security and safety applications. High profile venues around the world face an increasingly dangerous and complex task of protecting their employees, visitors, physical assets and reputation from a wide range of threats.
Together, these innovations offer the means to crowdsource actionable information about ongoing situations, incentivizing and rewarding contributors for their participation. The applications of such an approach are extremely diverse, from timely maintenance of public and corporate facilities, through to mitigating the impact of an unfolding terrorist attack or informing the delivery of public services within smart cities.
Yet another application of Blockchain technology in everyday life!
