Current Challenge

Sharing, verification, and reconciliation of sensitive documents between multiple parties has four major issues:

Accessibility: Due to privacy risks, sending and receiving confidential documents using the current technology is not safe
Trust: If there are multiple institutions involved in sharing of the documents, there needs to be a trust layer between them
Cost: There are huge costs involved in document distribution services
Time: The current process is manual and time-consuming, which substantially drains the organizations' resources

Implementation/Fit

STRATO Document Manager is designed with simple implementation in mind.

Created and maintained by BlockApps, making it installable as a built-in component to a new STRATO network, and easily added (less than a week) to an existing network.

Integrates directly with existing applications, ERPs and IT systems via RESTful API.

Can also integrate with storage solutions using the same API.

App Demo

Beyond seamless integration and compatibility, Document Manager also has the most robust, customizable and scalable app features in the blockchain industry

1. Secure Login

2. Upload Document

User 1 uploads a word document
Upload creates a hash of document
Uploaded to AWS S3 storage in this example
Only User 1 can access this file

3. Add Collaborator(s)

User 1 adds User 2 (and later a third user)
Only member users can view, download and track the document

4. Download & Edit Document

User 2 downloads the document, makes some changes
User 2 uploads the new version
STRATO checks the document to confirm it is truly different
Access is still limited to the same users

5. Verification (Attestation)

User 2 adds User 3 as another member
User 3 verifies the document
Users 1 and 2 do the same!
STRATO checks the verified document hashes to confirm a match

6. Ownership Change

User 1 transfers document ownership to User 3
This can be done at any point between members only
