21st August: How Blockchain Technology is making Data Collection Auditable and Transparent

On the 21st of August, SWIPE release an article on how our technology is making a difference in data collection.

To highlight the importance of having more auditable and transparent ways of data collection, let’s take a look at the effects bad data can have on businesses: (source: Integrate, Data Quality Index, 2015)

25% of the average database’s records are inaccurate

60% of those surveyed rate the overall health of their data as unreliable
