VSaaS is challenging from a setup, security, and reliability perspective as it involves different organizations.The RT Insights articles and the references therein provide more details. Through the VSaaS transformation approach involving multiple organizations, there will be mutually-beneficial application &amp; functional components, that are additive and would enhance the end-to-end Value Stream. Capability building blocks (potentially from different organizations or enterprises) can come together in services that provide value to target customers.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b6bae1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b6bae1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In other words, VSaaS becomes a mechanism for inter Enterprise-In-Motion innovation and new service creations: all powered and enabled with a DPA engine on the cloud.

Needless to say we now add Pandemics to the list! The VSaaS platform now can be automated and provide benefits that target precisely the challenges of interrupted supplies: Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Management, Just-Needed-Visibility, Just-Desired Innovation, Just-Required Collaboration, and Just-Predicted Mitigation of Risk. All these are critical factors in the Covid-19 era.<\/li>\n<li><em>Flexibility In Currency Exchanges and Decentralized Blockchain Traceability:\u00a0<\/em>Blockchain will increasingly become a powerful enabler for Covid-19 VSaaS solutions. It is the foundation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Many countries will face potential depreciation of their currencies.
