DSR: simplifying shareholder management

Technology aside, one of our key missions at Own is making our products extremely accessible, and many of the features of our Decentralised Share Register have been designed to offer a seamless user experience.

For example, in September we created the ability to log-on using both an OWN login and via Google and Facebook. These login choices are something that we want to offer across all our products, so that people can make use of all our applications with one set of credentials — rather than having to create new logins for each one.

There are lots of further features within the DSR that will help financial organisations to utilise their shareholder details more effectively and securely. Among the functionality we have developed over the past few weeks are modules for managing shareholder data, assets and transactions, as well as enabling online registration. We’ve also done extensive blockchain integration to create the architecture on which the DSR runs — but more on that later.

Another important thing to note about our Decentralised Share Register is that we’ve created a chat support function, so that if any of our users get stuck at any point in time, we can offer them the technical expertise required to get maximum value from our platform.
