Sylo: Decentralized Business Communication Apps

If you think communication is very important, then you're not alone. In fact, communication is an essential part of our lives. It also takes an important position in a business, where good communication skills can lead to great business achievements. Promotion and marketing process needs good communication and product, you can't just choose one of them.

Some major issues in regard to communication are about the privacy and security of your data, especially if you rely on third-parties communication provider (which most of us do). Those issues, in turn, increase the needs of a secure, safe and decentralized communication platform where you can communicate with your peers or business partners directly without leaving any trace of data on other servers. Even if it leaves some trace, it must be encrypted in such a way that decrypting it must be very difficult. Sylo will lead the revolution of business communications, data security and decentralization, especially for business activities.

What is Sylo and what can you use it for?

The Centralized, Complex and Risky Business Communication

First and foremost, business communications happen every day. You talk about deals or transactions via phone call, giving expert opinion for your peers or customer, reserve a restaurant table for your partners, and many other activities. All of that activity, most of the time, happens via a centralized communication provider where all of your data can be recorded without you even knowing about it. Not only this is a major privacy issue, but your business details can also be exposed to other malicious parties if they are able to hack into your telecommunication provider or doing a man-in-the-middle attack.

Not only that, in the current business ecosystem, users can't fully control their data and there is always an additional step that they have to do if they wanted to use other services. For example, when you use social media or apps on your phone, they're sending data about your activity to the companies server. You can't know what data that they send, as there is no public information about it, or even if there is something like that, most of the time regular users can't read it because they lack technical knowledge. So, you can't really trust the apps, even more, the communication network that you use.

Furthermore, it is almost impossible for users to actively prevent other parties to access what kind of data that they wanted to share, up to the point that they should take an extreme measure to prevent any data being read by other parties, which can be another issue as business deals or activities needs that data. There are apps which require a privilege or rights to access your contacts and messages, but what they collect might be more than what you'd expect. There is already a case where apps use the privilege to collect user messages and use the details for their benefits.

The problem doesn't stop here. In order for you to be able to make business deals, most of the time you have to use a single dedicated application and lengthy reservation or transactions process. This happens because there are no single apps which can manage all of your business needs. Because of this, it is quite hard to maintain many apps because there is no single point to control which data that your apps are allowed to access and to see when and where the apps access the data. This creates a condition where you must choose to accept the risk or use the traditional way of doing business which takes a lot of time to do.

So, how can we solve those problems?

Secured, Decentralized Single Apps and Communication Channel for Business Activities

In order to fix the problems of data security, one thing that we can do is to create a decentralized communication channel or an encrypted and secure way to talk in an unsafe media. Sylo will do this by using end-to-end encryption powered with decentralized communication node. This will make any data that you send toward your peers or business partner unreadable for other parties, and it will definitely require a lot of time to decrypt the message.

Sylo will also support business dapps, in which you can manage with ease. You can choose what you wanted to share with them transparently, and you can be sure that any data you send toward your peers or business partners is only accessible by you and the other parties as Sylo uses decentralized data storage. It means the data that you use won't be stored in any server so that if you delete or remove the access to that data, the other parties won't be able to access it. In this way, you'll be safe from data leak as it won't be possible unless cracker or malicious party can access your phone directly.

By supporting various dapps, there is no need for you to install additional apps for your needs. You can directly manage it with Sylo, and better than that, you can use Sylo directly to do your business activities. For example, you can chat with hotel reservation dapps, in which that you send a message that you want to reserve a hotel room for one night. The dapps will do the deals and then send back to you the details of your reservation. It would be so cool when you're able to pay it directly via Sylo.

Based on the what we know above, it means Sylo will make your business activities to be faster and safer to do. In theory, there's no need for you to worry about the security of your data and any other safety aspect because they applied end-to-end encryption and also blockchain technology. I personally think this is interesting, as there is no project that I know of use something called blockchain signaling as Sylo does.

Additional benefits that you can get by using Sylo is that you can pay or get paid by having calls of an expert or giving guidance to other parties. This can be an additional source of income or learning, and depending on how good you're on doing that, it will surely benefit you in the future. For example, we can learn how to solve some kind of problem specifically from somebody who is very expert in that field, directly doing a consultation with him. This saves a lot of time compared to if you have to learn everything from books and so forth as the condition might be different.

Bottom Line

Privacy and security are important, especially in business. Protecting your data and communication records is essentially protecting your business, which is what Sylo aims to help you. If you want to get anew experience of doing business activities in a secure and decentralized environment, then you should use Sylo.
