Credits Announces Strategic Partnership to Deliver Blockchain-as-a-Service to the UK Public Sector
(firmenpresse) - Infrastructure provider becomes the first with a blockchain offering exclusively for this market
London – April 28, 2016 – Credits, a blockchain infrastructure provider is partnering with Skyscape Cloud Services Limited, to deliver Blockchain-as-a-Service to UK public sector organisations.
The Credits platform enables organisations to quickly and easily build robust blockchains that address the challenges of establishing provenance, authentication and reconciliation faced by many industry sectors, including central and local government as well as other public sector bodies. The Credits platform is purpose-built to be seamlessly and securely interoperable with other legacy systems and blockchain providers.
Skyscape is a specialist service provider focused solely on providing assured cloud services to the UK public sector.

Credits has been working in direct partnership with the Isle of Man Government on several initiatives – including the first known government service to be run on blockchain. A great deal of public sector services can benefit directly from blockchain technology and Credits’ work with the Isle of Man Government has attracted increased interest from other Government entities as a result.
