Uhh ... that means they did a pilot with it back when BaaS started out.

50 bucks says none of them actively use Azure Blockchain for anything meaningful in their organization.

And Consensys is MSFT's preferred BaaS ISV these days.

Source: work at MSFT Partner, occasionally co-discuss BaaS with clients.

I've become extremely jaded to the logo gallery for these obvious secondary/tertiary B2B SaaS products in an organization. The logo for a pilot or some other freebie is kind of overdone now. Often this pilot ends up hitting the real org then crashing and burning because these secondary/tertiary pet projects are often never given the chance to be mature enough for their actual customer base before trying to solicit customers. These services finally hit a security person or something else and just gets the axe because they are just not even close to ready. If I'm playing technical customer I'm reaching out to you because I need what you have rather than you soliciting me. Most businesses are not so complex that it's obvious if a B2B SaaS is an essential service or some weird add-on trendy thing they are trying on for size so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
