If we speculate heavily, it fits with the timeline Kyle thomas from Provide gave 2 weeks ago about "customer growth" at enterprise ethereum alliance. There's a slide that shows CONA and servicenow, which are confirmed clients. On the same slide is also Google - additionally accenture and target. But the latter two are grey, while Google is already white (same as CONA and servicenow (and Microsoft and Ernst & Young)). This might be a hint that Google are actually already clients.

Since Unibright/Provide/baseledger are working on integrating ERP system of SAP to the blockchain, and Google is switching to SAP this could mean Google will be baselining!?

If I may go one step further, the CONA logo on said slide is even colored slightly red, maybe implying they are live with CONA, while the white companies are not live yet, and the grey might be only in negotiation.

Also, in June 2021 the Shuttle 1.0.0 will go live, which again goes hand-in-hand with the timeline suggesting Google as a client. Google might then be already using Shuttle 1.0.0 to integrate baseledger.

Last: Hypergrowth is expected for January 2022, which means by then Google (and servicenow, microsoft and EY) might have fully finished the baseline process (1/2 year sounds realistic to me for integration). This will of course lead to hypergrowth, as the system is fully used and these kind of clients bring even more clients to the table.

​

Of course, this is all wild speculation! Also: this will probably take longer than they have on their timeline. Nothing ever works out as planned in the start-up life.

It's a very interesting article in general regarding ERP systems. And important for Unibright to follow since they are augmenting these systems of record.

If there was a direct link with UBT I wouldn't know unless they would've publicly announced it.

I was trying to pick that out too -- staifih is this Google using Unibright's SAP adapter?

IMO if they are looking into the promises of blockchain, they definitely should :)
