Blockchain Technology – Streamlining Equipment Leasing To Obtain A Competitive Edge In A Post COVID-19 World

Vince Borst, Shareholder, Robbins Salomon & Patt LtdThe Current Cumbersome System of Equipment Lease Documentation – High in FrictionWhen it comes to putting equipment leases on the books, with limited exceptions the equipment leasing industry operates much like it did 25 years ago. The prospective lessee identifies a piece of equipment it needs, selects a vendor and the specific equipment required and executes a purchase order. If financing is needed, the lessee embarks on a search for a suitable funding source. Once identified, the lessee begins the process of applying for credit with the lessor. At each step of the way, the developing transaction is evidenced by an exchange of hard documentation. Although an email exchange may facilitate the transaction, at the formative stage the prospective lessee is filling out paper documents: purchase orders, credit applications, purchase order assignments and the like.The prospective lessor for its own part is reviewing that hard documentation, and putting together its own package of documents: master lease agreements, schedules, corporate resolutions, delivery and acceptance certificates and guarantees. If the lessor is functioning as a broker, it in turn may be looking for a place to park a deal with all the documents that process entails. All of this activity imposes an enormous amount of friction on the process with time delays to analyze the deal, credit score and transmit documents, fund the transaction, verify equipment acceptance and obtain executed documents. The industry has recently started to move toward electronic signatures, but many lessors and their banks still want blue ink signatures on hard paper documents, with all the delay that entails. The whole process is needlessly time-consuming. However, most if not all the friction associated with the old way of doing business could be eliminated by developing technology known as blockchain technology.Blockchain Technology – What is it?In technical terms, a blockchain is a decentralized peer-to-peer network that maintains a distributed ledger of transactions. It may be public or private, and permissioned or non-permissioned.A. What is a decentralized ledger?A database, as in an Excel spreadsheet, that stores information like names, addresses, contract terms, purchase prices, monthly payments, etc. A ledger is centralized if the information is all maintained by one party, such as a lessor. A good example is a bank account. At its heart, a bank account is a simple ledger of debits and credits to the account of the depositor. And while a depositor may keep a record, the official account is maintained by the bank; it is centralized on the bank’s system.A decentralized system is stored on any number of computers connected to a common network such as the Internet. Each computer, or node, contains a complete history of every transaction completed on a particular blockchain beginning with the first transaction processed on the first block of the blockchain. The ledger is distributed.Each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block. Linking blocks chronologically results in the chain of blocks, hence a blockchain. Once recorded, the data in a block cannot be altered retroactively without creating an obvious incompatibility with later blocks, which depend on the original data from earlier blocks. For that reason, a blockchain is tamper evident, giving an integrity that makes a blockchain extremely tamperproof.B. Peer-to-Peer NetworkA network of computers, or nodes, connected to a common network. The nodes are all connected, but in a de-centralized manner; there is no single server to which all nodes connect. The network of nodes all operate under the same set of rules, or protocol. The protocol is expressed in computer code that resides on each node in the network. The agreed-upon protocol ensures that only information upon which the network reaches consensus will be included in the blockchain. The network of computers all running the protocol code must come to agreement upon whether a change to a blockchain should be made, and if so, what that change should be. No one node (computer) could unilaterally impose a change on the blockchain.C. Public or Private: Permissioned or Non-PermissionedAn example of a public blockchain is Bitcoin, which is open to the public and is described as open or non-permissioned. A private network would be similar to that maintained by the Federal Reserve with its member banks, though this comparison is not precise as the Fed operates a centralized ledger system, with each member connected to the Fed, which maintains the official ledger. However, each participant must have permission to join the network. In a blockchain, permission also functions at a separate level. One node that has permission at one point in the blockchain may drop out and no longer have permission to participate later in time in the chain.D. The ProtocolThe protocol consists of the common code, or software application, that each computer in the network agrees to use. The protocol spells out in detail all the rules and procedures that govern the working of the network. A peer-to-peer network could implement its own unique protocol, but more likely is that a network would opt to utilize one of the existing protocols, such as IBM’s sponsorship of the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Project, which focuses on identifying and addressing important features for an enterprise-class, cross-industry open standard for distributed ledgers.Smart ContractsA concept most often associated with blockchain is the “smart contract.” In the context of blockchain, a smart contract has nothing to do with the traditional idea of a legal contract. Smart contract refers to a programming code that gets executed on the blockchain to automatically build a contract. A smart contract involves a proposed transaction, with two or more parties that is implemented autonomously. Once initiated, human input would not be required to consummate the contract. The smart contract would be coded and digitally recorded on the blockchain by the efforts of the various nodes. In the context of equipment leasing, all the familiar, much loved UCC Article 2A terms and conditions would be folded into the smart contract by the programming code.Equipment Leasing – How Would Blockchain Work?Applying blockchain technology to equipment leasing would have a familiar feel, minus all the paperwork. The same players would be present: lessee, vendor, broker, lessor and lessor’s bank as applicable, etc. New players would potentially include a credit rating service and other such data providers, an electronic document service such as Docusign or E-Signature, an agent for UCC filing purposes, tax agents and others. Instead of phone calls, emails, and the post office or FedEx, the parties would all be present and participating as individual nodes in the peer-to-peer network. Each would have input through a computer running protocol of the lessor’s or its bank’s choosing.For security purposes, the network would function as a private, permissioned network and the various parties would come and go. For example, if a broker were involved, it might have permission to participate and change the blockchain up to the point of submitting an application, after which it would no longer have permission to add or change data in the block chain. Likewise, a vendor, UCC and tax processing agents, and other parties having limited roles to play. But as in the hardcopy world, the critical players would remain the lessee and lessor, participating through to the end of the lease term.Blockchain technology would eliminate most, if not all of the friction in equipment leasing, and would be hampered only by things like the time it takes to make a credit decision. If a lessor chose to use a scorecard for credit decisions, even that function would occur at computer processing speeds. If smart contracts are involved, the process would move even faster. While smart contracts probably won’t have much utility in middle to large ticket leasing, it is easy to envision their application in micro and small ticket transactions, where thousands of look-alike lease transactions prevail.So Why Isn’t This Happening?If blockchain technology has such promising application to equipment leasing, why isn’t the industry rushing to put it into play. In two white papers published by the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation (the “ELFF”) exploring the Fintech phenomenon and digital documents, the ELFF highlighted a number of adverse factors facing the implementation of blockchain. While ELFF didn’t specifically address blockchain technology in its two papers, at its core blockchain implements cutting edge technology and operates in a paperless digital universe. Therefore, the ELFF’s findings have relevance here.With respect to the use of cutting-edge technology in the Fintech arena, ELFF identified headwinds facing Fintech such as an unproven capacity to comply with regulatory requirements, loan credit performance in a downturn, sensitivity to interest rate changes, financial instability and operational risks. Untested performance history through a full economic cycle and performance during tightening monetary cycles and economic crises also come into play. On the plus side, ELFF noted that Fintechs slash operating costs and quicken customer service, and are not burdened by legacy technology systems or brick and mortar networks. The use of alternative data to assess risks also changes the landscape.In the paperless transaction world, the ELFF found that a minority of lessors (33%) is currently originating electronic lease transactions, and an even smaller number of lenders (21%) is willing to accept electronic lease transactions as collateral for loans. This is attributed, in part, to a misunderstanding of legal issues related to establishing control of electronic chattel paper when it is transferred from one owner to another and general issues of enforceability of an equipment lease evidenced only by electronic documentation. Article 2A also plays a role; as adopted in some states many equipment leases must be in writing and signed to be enforceable, and often accompanied by certain disclosures to lessees.These issues can be managed. Article 9 already addresses electronic chattel paper. Further, the use of an e-vault that addresses the Safe Harbor requirements of Article 9 reliably through a secure methodology to keep track of the identity of the controlling party for electronic chattel paper should alleviate other concerns. In addition, the Federal Electronic Signatures Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”), state enacted Uniform Electronic Transactions Acts and various other laws and regulations can be used to meet the writing, signature and disclosure requirements.For example, effective January 1, 2020, Illinois adopted the Blockchain Technology Act (“Act”) to address concerns associated with the use of blockchain in smart contracts. The Act defines for its purposes blockchain, protocol (called a cryptographic hash), electronic record, record and smart contract. 205 ILCS 730/5 §5. The Act provides that a smart contract, record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability or excluded from evidence solely because a blockchain was used to create, store, or verify the smart contract, record, or signature. Id. At §10. Where another law requires that a contract or other record relating to a transaction be in writing, as long as the blockchain is in a form that is capable of being retained and accurately reproduced for later reference by all parties, it is enforceable and admissible in evidence. Id. at §15. A limitation, however, is where another law requires a record to be posted or displayed, sent, communicated, or transmitted by a special method. Blockchain won’t suffice, yet, and written notices where required must be sent under the existing legal framework.Conclusion Blockchain technology has clear application to the equipment leasing industry, and could give a savvy lessor a competitive edge over a more traditional lessor in capturing new lease deals. There will be growing pains, but those issues are manageable through a variety of tools that have developed in an unrelated fashion to deal with several cutting-edge issues such as electronic signatures and electronic documentation.In a post Covid-19 world, where parties will continue to practice social distancing, remote working arrangements and other precautions, it will be imperative that the equipment leasing industry develop systems to continue business. Implementing blockchain will provide an efficient, frictionless methodology for equipment lessors to continue to do business in such a constrained environment. Necessity bring the mother of invention; it is likely that lenders will begin to develop a more open attitude towards blockchain and electronic documents as well. Read the full article

Interview with Fiona Smiddy, the founder of Green Outlook

by Julia Cuprina

Tell us a little about yourself.

I’m Fiona Smiddy the Founder of Green Outlook www.greenoutlook.ie.

I grew up in Glanmire, Cork just down the road from my grandparents’ farm where I spent a lot of time with my two brothers. I played a lot of team sports but now I really enjoy going to the gym and getting out exercising in any form. I was heavily involved in Scouts growing up and this nurtured my love for the outdoors and being respectful of nature.

I studied Commerce and French in UCC, and college is also where I met my boyfriend who is from Kildare and the reason I now live in Kildare. After college I trained with KPMG in Dublin working in Risk and Management Consulting. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2016. I wanted to further enhance my accounting knowledge, so I took a role in Industry. I worked with a renewable energy company for two years as Senior Accountant preparing accounts for a portfolio of Irish windfarms. It was so interesting to see the tangible correlation between the stormy Irish weather, and the equivalent fluctuations in Revenue generated on a windfarm.

In June 2018 the renewable energy company closed due to a lack of funding for future projects. I was pretty disappointed as I really enjoyed the company, the people and my role. I had always wanted to do some travelling and now that I had no job it was the perfect opportunity. I spent some time travelling both solo travel and with friends and family across South America, Australia and New Zealand. It was while travelling I got the idea to start my own business. I returned home in December 2018 and moved to Kildare and set about brainstorming what is now Green Outlook. I launched Green Outlook in March 2019.

What inspired you to start your business? Tell us about your journey.

While travelling in 2018 I visited countries that were directly facing the impact of the climate crisis. The San Blas islands were being impacted by rising sea levels and the glaciers of New Zealand were in a state of constant recession. I read Mary Robinsons book Climate Justice and I also read a book called Zero Waste Home and it amazed me how Bea Johnson’s household waste for one year fit in a small jar. I thought back to when I had packed up my apartment in Dublin before travelling and all the junk I had accumulated. I was beginning to make the correlation between my daily consumer choices and my personal environmental impact which I had never fully considered before.

I had always wanted to have my own business but was never sure what form that would take. In 2018 it finally clicked that I could combine my business education and work experience with my passion for the environment to bring solutions for sustainable living to Irish consumers.

At Green Outlook I combine the educational aspect around sustainability and simple lifestyle changes for the environment with a sustainable lifestyle and plastic free shop. The issue with plastic pollution is huge so I wanted to do something to combat this. I source a range of plastic free products that are all sustainable and made with the best natural ingredients. I support local suppliers as this is so important to me and links it with the sustainable ethos of the business. The product range has grown over the last few months and there are now nearly 200 products available online at Green Outlook. I also attend markets and events across Ireland, doing pop up shops and working with corporate customers providing gifting services and corporate speaking services.

Describe your brand in 3 words.

Solutions for sustainability!

buy here

What do you enjoy most about your job and what do you find challenging?

I enjoy bringing amazing sustainable Irish products together and getting out to meet like-minded people at markets and events.

As a sole trader I’m jack of all trades which is interesting as I’m always learning, however, I probably tend to do the jobs I like first and put some other things on the long finger. Even as an accountant I shy away from budgets and KPIs, I’m learning to be more disciplined, particularly as Green Outlook grows and I’m planning for the future.

Do you work from home?

Yes, I mostly work from home but most weeks I’ll be out and about at meetings, events or markets. Working from home has lots of pros but there are some downsides to working alone so it’s important I schedule in a mix and don’t get cabin fever home alone.

What helps you to stay motivated?

My customers and their feedback! Every so often I question if I’ve made the right decision by starting out on my own with no security. I compare it to the financial stability an accounting role would offer me but then I remember why I started Green Outlook and all the positive change it has created so far.

What are your top 5 favourite products at the moment, from your online store?

I’ve recently added a range of skin care products including a cleanser, moisturiser, toner, eye serum and body oil. I can’t wait to start hearing the customer feedback on these new additions as I think they are amazing. The Green Outlook firm favourites though must be the shampoo bars, natural deodorants, the safety razor and the bee’s wraps.

buy here

What is your proudest moment to date?

There’s a few including my first market and my first online sale but the highlight of 2019 was appearing on Ireland AM with a range of Green Outlook products. It was such a fun experience being on live TV and I learnt a lot from that experience.

I’ve been very fortunate to be involved with some brilliant programmes for entrepreneurs too including Acorns 5 and I’ve just been accepted on the DCU Ryan Academy Female High Fliers programme.

What does success mean to you?

Personally, it’s about being happy! Although I gained so much experience from working in Dublin, I don’t think I would have ever been truly happy commuting, especially during the winter months when you’d barely see any daylight. My business is pretty much all online and I’m much happier having the flexibility to work from anywhere.

For Green Outlook it’s about protecting the planet and helping people implement sustainability into their lives. The more people I reach, the more changes will happen and the better the fight against the climate crisis we will have.

Have you any particular goals for 2020?

I want to continue to grow the brand awareness of Green Outlook. In 2019 I worked hard to get the online retail business up and running efficiently and testing the waters with my talks on sustainability. In 2020 it’s about building on the success of 2019 and spreading the message about the sustainable offering at Green Outlook including the retail, gifting and speaking offerings.

I really want to continue to provide inspiration for people that sustainability doesn’t have to be extreme or mean a complete lifestyle change. I will continue to give tips and help people to reduce their environmental impact through social media and my weekly newsletter. If we all do a little, we’ll be in a much better place.

Mortgage lenders: Here’s your blockchain primer | 2017-10-27

Technologies like blockchain have the potential to change the game in the financial services industry by not only speeding up and providing complete visibility into financial transactions, but also significantly reducing costs. Let’s take a look at why this is so.

Blockchain is one of the more exciting – and often misunderstood – technologies being explored today. Essentially, blockchain offers the ability to record and track transactions in a decentralized database (often referred to as a “ledger”). When a transaction occurs, everyone who has permission on the network knows about it. It’s tamper-proof and everything happens in real-time. This has disruptive implications for the banking industry and the way it keeps records of each financial transaction today.

Blockchain is particularly relevant to the lending market. Lending is a contract-intensive process with an extensive lifecycle; it carries significant risk and limited trust across its value chain – from origination to funding through to the fulfillment and servicing of the loan. Many financial institutions today still rely heavily on paper for their lending practices. The documents involved in these processes – mortgage notes, vehicle loans and equipment leasing contracts – have cash value tied to them, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and if these documents are destroyed, their value is completely lost.

Even in the digital world, the same process requires stringent checks and balances to ensure that a single authoritative digital copy of the loan documents exist at all times. These documents ultimately represent digital currency (like how bitcoin reinvented the concept of cash) and there has to be one original copy of the loan documents in the possession of the lender or holder. This is extremely important in the peer-to-peer lending space, where loans are transferred regularly to other lenders and institutional investors throughout the lifecycle of the loan funding process. In the U.S., ESIGN, UETA and UCC Article 9 provide the legal basis for how these types of loans and financing contracts are managed and serviced by financial institutions. These laws stipulate the need for the secure chain-of-custody and ownership of electronic loan documents. This vital to the integrity of a loan and the overall lending process.

But how do banks, lenders and investors track and manage digital assets as they’re transferred between one another in today’s complex and compliance-driven lending environment?

Blockchain could be one answer. Banks and lenders are under increasing regulatory compliance pressure and need the ability to quickly demonstrate how processes take place. One of the most exciting features of blockchain from a legal and compliance perspective is its “immutability”, meaning that as soon as transactions are recorded into the blockchain ledger, they cannot be altered or deleted. Blockchain has the potential to further strengthen compliance and audit by demonstrating a secure chain-of-custody for the transfer of any digital asset (e.g., secured loan or lease) to anyone that has permission on the network. The decentralized approach ultimately changes the dynamics in today’s financial ecosystem – shifting the power from institutions to users. Because this process inherently involves digitizing business transactions between parties, validating these transactions on the blockchain by permissioned users can provide increased transparency for audit and compliance purposes.

Moreover, the integration of blockchain with digital lending ensures transactions are tracked in an open and transparent way. Banks and lenders get direct visibility into exactly what happened during the lending process – who was involved, who had control over the authoritative copy of the digital assets and ultimately, who owns the value of those assets, as required by law. When combined with the power of e-signatures and e-vaulting technologies, blockchain can help reinvent the entire process of how paper-based assets are securely sold and transferred in the digital world between banks, lenders and institutional investors.

Speed also plays an important role in this process. Blockchain can execute peer-to-peer transactions in seconds versus days and weeks in the paper world. Everything happens in real-time – for example, loan applications completed by borrowers can be transferred instantaneously to lenders and investors, who ultimately fund the loan. The added benefit of this approach is that it can crack down on any attempts to manipulate the system thanks to the minimal lag time in processing digital loan documents that are registered on the blockchain.

Beyond speed and strengthening audit and compliance, distributed ledger technology has the potential to dramatically reduce costs related to the manual processing of loan documents. Organizations understand that keeping content digital as long as possible speeds up transactions. And because blockchain fundamentally eliminates the need to manage paper-based assets, financial institutions can significantly reduce manual intervention when transferring digital assets to parties in the lending ecosystem. As a result, paper becomes a thing of the past because every action is tracked and registered on the blockchain, and every document linked to a financial asset is managed as a transferable record.

Digital technologies like blockchain offer a new means of transacting, funding and investing. The debate continues on how banks and other financial institutions can best capitalize on blockchain. For many in the field, particularly those working in “innovation labs” and skunk works operations, these are exciting times because the possibilities are endless. Organizations are actively engaging in blockchain initiatives across a variety of use cases –– from online identity management to smart contracts to digital asset management.

As with most innovations, “crossing the chasm” and capturing the hearts of the majority takes a number of successful implementations before technologies like blockchain are perceived as viable and future-proof. There are still a number of technical challenges that need to be addressed before blockchain can achieve critical mass in the market. These issues include resolving data privacy concerns (i.e., in an open, distributed environment), security concerns (i.e., with public vs. private blockchains), and how the technology applies to current laws and regulations.

Despite some of the unknowns and technical challenges that surround the technology, the future of blockchain in financial services is undeniably bright. The endless number of applications, increased popularity, as well as pilot implementations by some of the largest financial institutions, is proof that blockchain is here to stay.

With the help of his friend

TsaGa and malik lay around reading our own chats which seemed harmless at the time, because we were so “inconsiderate” towards TsaGa. This particular, however , could not have been further from reality, as the two were able to deceive Egor "FuRy" Morin into going to the boot camp. Whenever he arrived they asked him in order to answer for his words, and after a brief conversation TsaGa proceeded to physically attack Egor "FuRy" Morin, busting his lip and dropping your pet on the floor. All of the brand new roster members (spiker, FL1T, Kissinho, malik, Qulon) were witnesses of this, a few of them attempted to stop the infuriated coach, however most of them were indifferent. At the end of April our roster secured second put in place the ESEA CS: GO Open The ussr division and consequently a placement at ESEA Main. TsaGa decided that he earned the ESEA Primary slot more than all of us did, despite it being the sole work of our roster and after a few punches at "FuRy" he mentioned that if the team doesn’t transfer the actual slot things might only get worse. This particular meant that we had to either transfer it to them or do not play matches throughout ESEA Main. All of us simply ignored your pet and didn’t take things public, nevertheless things got exponentially worse.

With the help of his friend, Nikita “PIOPI” Bagritskiy, who happened to be a Tournament Administrator at UCC, this individual was set upon ruining the tournament for us. Below are Teamspeak recordings where PIOPI stated that despite advancing to time two of the qualifiers, we were disqualified simply because. UCC’s CEO (deca) apologised for the scenario and we don’t possess any issues with the actual organisers, however all of us refuse to participate in the event.

Translation provided by Aleksei "Aleksei. L" Lushnikov. Right after interpreting the sound clips, I came to the conclusion that indeed they do confirm what was layed out in the post.

The world’s newest competing sports come to the actual world’s oldest competition: Cambridge and Oxford face off this particular Sunday in The Cambridge Union for Varisty esports glory. Most of the world’s rivalries day maybe a century at best: Ferrari versus Lamborghini, 50 years, Coke and Soft drink, 120 years, or even from Australia, the actual fierce city competition between Melbourne and Sydney (Melbourne is actually clearly better by the way, although, I may be biased), 180 years. Oxford vs Cambridge, with an academic competition over 800 years old, and individual sporting rivalries such as the famous 'The Boat Race' almost 190 years old, leaves all in the dust by a long way. You can now add esports to that list. Becoming run since 2014, the Varsity esports Tournament has gone through strength to strength each year. The current standings see Cambridge having wins in 2014 and 2105, and Oxford taking out 2016. Who will take this yr? You will have to wait until tomorrow to find out. The showdown will take put in place The Cambridge Marriage, the home of the earliest debating society on the planet, a venue that later on this phrase will host United States Senators Bernie Sanders and John McCain in separate speeches.

Gintautas Kamuntavičius, a second yr maths student through Christ’s College and captain of the Cambridge Dota side declared the team has ‘verrrry big shoes to fill”.

Although playing with an all brand new team, Hedley said:

smash the system? through sheer incompetence our oppressors are about to do just that. The revolutionary only needs to sit back and wait.

Civilisation runs on working code though no one knows what a lot of it does anymore lol. And for many large legacy systems of vital infrastructural importance to the running of governments and economies no one has an overall view of how many of them work at all lol.

Governance of nations and the running of business has been increasingly deferred to the auto-pilot and that machine is made of rules. And of necessity those rules stretch over national borders because so does trade. The idiots are about to take an ax to those rules severing the links between the one and the 27. And they then expect the machine to instantly adjust and carry on working as before in business, banking and finance, supply chains, transport, government and crucially customs.

Because among other things (such as security and revenue collection) HMRC’s customs system is an essential cog in the machine integrated with the systems that schedule and coordinate the flow of goods through every one of the UK’s ports and airports. Clearly these systems will need updating to reflect the immanent change in the UK’s trading arrangements. Pause and ponder… flow of goods… every port. What could possibly go wrong!

These systems cannot be updated in time because there will be no time; it’s not until negotiations are complete that there can be surety and clarity on what the new rules of trade will be. And upon those rules technical specifications can be drawn up and passed to the devs. If those negotiations take zero seconds then there is the entire two year article 50 period to make adjustments. If however they take up that entire two years then there is a remaining zero seconds. I would tend toward the latter. An ambitious deadline for a government IT project.

And particularly ambitious in this case given HMRC are part way through a re-write (alarm bells already) from the existing CHIEF system to CDS so as to implement UCC processes (though not sure how relevant many of them will be post brexit). Re-writes are a huge risk as the existing system has been tested in the field by millions of users over decades. This total overhaul however is due for release around the time of the UK’s currently projected EU exit date. And of course leaving the EU wasn’t anticipated in this project (oh boy). And as well as modifications to take in to account the UK’s changed trading relationships with almost every other country on Earth. Every other country and not just the EU because the EU negotiates trade agreements on behalf of it’s members, agreements the UK will no longer be party to post exit so it leaves with nothing. Not just the change in rules but it will need to scale.

It will need to scale for a doubling of declarations being put through the system from traders previously used to the ease and simplicity of doing business within the EU. Scaling the system currently under development (CDS) is not a problem, it’s modern so just throw more servers at it. But that won’t be ready in time; government IT projects tend to overrun by years and overspend by billions and this isn’t the first attempt to rewrite. So that leaves the existing CHIEF system. This was not written by teenagers yesterday in javascript using node js. CHIEF was written in the 80s in COBEL, ICL OS and DBMS (ICL went out of business 15 years ago) etc. Particularly challenging given the reason for the rewrite (the reason for most rewrites) is that CHIEF had become too risky expensive and time consuming to make changes to. This tends to happen as mods are made to millions of lines of code by a stream of programmers over a quarter of a century… things tend to get a little bent out of shape. So how scalable is CHIEF and how easy to update to account for the radical change in the UK’s trade relationships with every other nation on Earth?

The situation is analogous to an army on the move (from CHIEF to CDS) about to be ambushed (as there’s no time to prepare) by an overwhelming force as the environment in which this system was written to operate in will be radically altered (every everything this system currently does will be under attack from some need to change). This will not go well and there’ll be no going back because when it all goes wrong the build can’t be pulled and the previous version installed because the previous version is the EU model. And what makes this project even more failure prone (if it didn’t have enough stacked against it already) is that hard brexit brings with it a hard deadline. Two years post article 50 notification it’s pencils down whether you’ve finished or not.

But hey surely there’ll be some post exit transition period to allow for implementation? Well normally when it comes to trade agreements yeh because normally these things are mutually beneficial otherwise there wouldn’t be agreement! so it’s in both parties’ interest to implement what has been agreed. This isn’t normal. This is the opposite in every respect. This is the undoing of agreements to both parties’ detriment. So as regards transition the EU attitude generally is ‘what’s in it for us?’ ‘will the end state of transition be good for us?’ ‘No?’ ‘Oh well fuck it then why bother!’ Then the UK according to that recent white paper is prepared to simply walk away from discussions rather than accept a ‘bad deal’ while many of the loons now running the show view any kind of transition with suspicion; a means to keep the UK in by stealth. Nor do they understand the need for an interim period to allow time for systems to be updated, it’s simply a detail that many think is beneath them to understand.

That lack of understanding extends to all those ‘experts’ we’ve heard in the media since the referendum campaign. Generally speaking these experts have been of the kind that don’t do detail. Politicians, business leaders, economists, journalists and celebrity chefs only see the bigger picture. Though how many of these ‘experts’ have ever even written a line of code! IT is rarely part of anyone’s bigger picture regardless of how fundamental it may be. And for some problems if you only see the bigger picture then you’re hardly seeing the problem at all. The experts are indeed wrong because this will be far worse than any of them have predicted.

Which brings us to another reason so little is being said about the catastrophe that awaits should the UK continue on its present path. That is the lack of detail in UK gov pronouncements of their intentions, their plans. Because with so little to go on those who have some grasp of the issues don’t want to commit to any predictions because who wants to be wrong! No one wants to be the one to start yelling the sky is falling then be ‘proved wrong’ when UK gov come to their senses and change course (e.g. remain in the EEA as an interim step say).

However the vagueness and lack of detail shouldn’t be a cause for doubt it’s rather a very strong indicator. A very strong indicator of cluelessness. UK gov are saying little because they have little to say.

But detail detail detail, in this case the devil isn’t so much there but rather a screaming horde of demons are waiting to be unleashed. Because these issues: the uncertainty until agreements are made and the lack of time to adjust and the degree to which systems have become enmeshed over the decades across borders. This doesn’t just apply to customs IT no, that was just the most obvious pick, it applies to a whole range of other systems within government, business and finance.

The chaos and disruption that awaits will be war scale. Trucks backed up from Dover along the M20 and wrapped round the M25. The army called in to distribute to supermarkets, food rationing and civil unrest. And this on top of the other related shocks to the food system of a country only 60% self sufficient. There is the additional customs bureaucracy along with the system failures; a big problem for time critical consignments such as fresh food. Sterling will drop to parity with Andrex once the scale of clusterfuck becomes obvious to all making food imports that more expensive. The loss of migrant labour upon which the UK’s food industry is heavily dependant. And then the inevitable end of subsidies which account for 50% of farm income.

Ho-hum. Just warning the world of the UK’s impending famine and civil war issue… erm on my art blog. It’s ahhh… a conceptual piece. Coz it err... makes yer fink dunnit?

They say every society is only three meals away from revolution. I think it was said on an episode of Red Dwarf btw.
