SmartDegrees uses Microsoft to consolidate its university certification platform in blockchain
From now on, the nodes that constitute the SmartDegrees blockchain platform operate in Microsoft's Azure cloud, where they have been moved from their previous support. This gives more security, scalability and monitoring possibilities, as well as flexibility in the development of improvements in its service.
The innovative and disruptive nature of this technology opens up enormous possibilities in all sectors, particularly in higher education, new graduates, alumni, universities, work platforms and recruiters.
SmartDegrees has the service available in several universities and educational institutions in several countries, being the University Carlos III of Madrid the first to have its official university degrees registered and certified in blockchain. Graduates who have joined the service can manage their titles from their smartphone, through a free app that allows them the following benefits:
- It facilitates the enhancement of the title, speeding up its sharing with work platforms, recruiters and third parties.
- The graduate is the sovereign owner of their data and decides how, where and when to display them.
- The app and support technology, blockchain, guarantee its inviolability and prevent fraud.
