The concept of Web 3.0 has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping industries, and redefining the way we interact with technology. We had the privilege of hearing from some of our most experienced customers on this topic. These esteemed professionals shared their perspectives on how Web 3.0 is revolutionizing their respective industries.
Diego Del Portillo, Chief Technologist Information at Puerto de Barranquilla, delved into the multifaceted benefits of Web 3.0. He noted the enhanced data security and privacy afforded by blockchain technology and called Web 3.0 a catalyst for innovation that offers greater traceability in logistics processes and reduces the reliance on intermediaries.
Del Portillo shared his experience with Tradelens, a platform dedicated to maritime logistics operations, emphasizing the transformative power of Web 3.0 in driving digital transformation within the maritime sector: “I believe that in the maritime industry, there is a lack of interest from all the parties involved in the logistics chain to carry out massive Web 3.0 implementation processes. However, companies such as ports can use Web 3.0 in their innovation process and digital transformation.”
Rajesh Garg, EVP & Chief Digital Officer at Yotta Infrastructure Solutions LLP, highlighted the pivotal role Web 3.0 plays for their company. As the world’s second-largest—and Asia’s largest—Tier 4 Uptime Datacenter services provider, they use Web 3.0 to enable decentralization, edge computing and peer-to-peer interactions. Garg emphasized the transformative potential of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) platforms in redefining Web 3.0, offering users greater control over their online identity and data while enhancing application delivery resilience: “Our applications services provide “everything as a service” and are highly dependent on smarter, autonomous technologies like AI and ML platforms, which are redefining Web 3.0.”
Boris Monterrosa, Cybersecurity Architect at Puerto de Barranquilla, highlighted the paradigm shift brought about by Web 3.0. He emphasized the significance of artificial intelligence and big data in this new era, where machines understand content. For Boris Monterrosa, the integration of IT into strategic planning is paramount, ensuring alignment with business objectives. He stressed the importance of data integrity, confidentiality and availability, especially in a dynamic risk environment: “For example, for a company like a cargo port, it implies 24/7 absolute availability within a huge and dynamic risk environment. That is why Web 3.0 not only applies to business processes but also to the protection of information by detecting advanced persistent threats, managing traffic, and analyzing logs and events.”
These insights shared by our customers and industry leaders underscore the profound impact of Web 3.0 across diverse sectors. As we embrace this new era of decentralization and technological advancement, opportunities for innovation abound, paving the way for a more efficient, secure and interconnected digital ecosystem.
