The Trusted Document Management platform developed by Billon, and funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program, enables a comprehensive, fully digital and regulatory-compliant exchange of business information based on the immutability and security of data on blockchain.
Andrzej Horoszczak, founder of Billon Group and CEO of Billon Digital Services, comments: “Sygnity joins the growing group of Billon partners who create DLT solutions ensuring tangible value for businesses. Together we will develop enterprise solutions that optimize business processes, improve enterprise management and support strategic decision-making based on data. The use of distributed ledger technology for data management enables cost reductions, ensures the highest level of security and builds trust with transparency and full integrity of stored data.”
Bogdan Zborowski, CEO of Sygnity, comments: “In the 30 years of Sygnity’s existence, we have actively contributed to the digital transformation of business and the public administration, and taken part in the largest IT projects powering the Polish economy. Our goal is to offer clients in Poland and globally the most advanced solutions that simplify processes and solve real business problems. Distributed ledger technology ensures security and trust, which are of vital importance in the era when every business process is digital. I believe that the competencies and experience of Sygnity and Billon will bring together a completely new quality of IT solutions for our current and future clients.”
Unlike other blockchain solutions, Billon’s DLT protocol does not store only hash sums, but entire documents on-chain. This is opposed to architectures based on Ethereum or similar protocols which typically store documents off-chain with the full cost of back-up, effectively failing to eliminate the legacy systems that DLT is intended to eliminate.. During publication, data is decomposed and dispersed across blockchain nodes, which effectively prevents unauthorized removal or modification.
Billon's system is an encrypted and distributed database for storing and sharing high-value documents, such as contracts, certificates or diplomas, guaranteeing their authenticity and preventing fraud. It also enables trusted remote document signing and delivery, which can support remote submission of documents such as declarations of intent or conclusion of contracts in full compliance with national and EU regulations.
Billon partners with the Polish Credit Information Bureau BIK, which incorporated its DLT system in the BIK Blockchain Platform, a cross-industry solution for digital document management and distribution. Companies and institutions that use Billon's blockchain to store and publish documents include Tauron, Syneriz, the Polish Section of IEEE and the Kielce University of Technology. Billon Group is also working with its UK partners on solutions for on-chain storage of documents helping to get back to normal after the COVID pandemic - Verified Vaccination Certificates and Ready-to-Work Platform.
