Well... that happened. PR folks the world over can take a lesson from how Amazon announced the enhancement of its AWS Transform service. They hauled an old AWS server 150 feet up on a crane in the middle of Las Vegas, and then dropped it on a pile of explosives. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get the attention of tech journalists. I mean, dropping a server 150 feet and blowing it up is a happy place I didn't even know I had.

According to some estimates, tech debt, or the costs incurred when having to constantly fix aging or clunky software systems, has ballooned to more than $1.52 trillion in the U.S. alone. With technology like agentic AI being heavily embedded on top of companies' aging technology systems and operations, this rising cost of tech debt makes sense. Many organizations are quickly implementing new technologies without addressing underlying systems first.

Blockchain technology enables companies to create a trusted architecture for sharing data across networks securely and reliably, thereby addressing master data issues more effectively.
