Abstract
The digital transformation of industrial enterprises has highlighted the need for corporate information systems (CIS) capable of supporting data-driven decision-making, process optimization, and strategic management. In this paper, we explore how to enhance CIS by the combined use of Big Data and blockchain technologies. In this paper, a business-process-oriented CIS model is developed within the framework of a corporeal central database that aggregates the flows of production, management, and business information. It contributes to transparency, data integrity, and managerial effectiveness via real-time monitoring, analytics and decision support. This paper contrasts both approaches using the example of transaction systems based on a relational database against systems based on a blockchain distributed ledger, and makes the case for a blockchain as the superior technology for decentralizing, immutability, and safe document management. The results show that the complementary application of Big Data and blockchain technologies forms a methodological and technological basis for the digital transformation of corporate information systems to increase the efficiency, reliability, and competitiveness of industrial enterprises.
