Review :
"Our taXchain digital ecosystem was born with the idea to setup a unique information platform using blockchain-enabled digital ecosystems to securely exchange tax and customs data between companies and authorities.

In this book, he provides the "cookbook" for a coherent framework that helped me to break down the complexity into work packages, build sustainable cost and price models and create a longterm roadmap for success." - Dr. Olga Chatelain, IT Internal Processes & Tools, Siemens AG
