The Challenges and ROI of Verifiable Credentials in Enterprise Use Cases

The Challenges and ROI of Verifiable Credentials in Enterprise Use Cases

Combined Session
Thursday, May 08, 2025 12:25—12:45
Location: A 03-04

The return on investment (ROI) for issuers, holders, and verifiers is attractive at first glance, particularly in enterprise services like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or expense management platforms where it has such potential for user experience improvements. But a closer look reveals a set of tradeoffs complicating the effort:
Cutting down on Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and boosting security are big draws, but the cost and complexity of managing a decentralized identity system can easily outweigh the benefits for most companies. Moving from file syncing to VCs sounds great, but it means overhauling the digital infrastructure, and not every organization sees the value in doing that. (would love a third item here, just for a set of three, but again that's style, not substance)
This session will dig into the realities of enterprise adoption—what the ROI really looks like, what roadblocks are in the way, and how organizations can start making smarter decisions about whether VCs are worth the investment.
