As reported on CNBC - Rooney, JP Morgan thinks that "middleman displacement" and "Blockchain as a Service" a.ka. BaaS, could benefit three companies:
Cloud Service Provider Akamai - a vendor that could offer Blockchain capabilities as a service
"While there are a number of companies that have blockchain technology, IBM as one example, we believe the sizeable Akamai network is an inherent advantage in running a distributed ledger in blockchain."
DocuSign - a platform for digital contracts
"DocuSign wants to be the platform to enable the entire contracting process in a digital manner. Over time we could see much of the platform being based on blockchain, basically shifting its
centralized security model for the distributed model of blockchain," J.P. Morgan's Auty said.
Ellie Mae Mortgage Network
"Utilizing blockchain to manage the entire mortgage process could bring trust among parties and use of smart contracts could help automate various tasks: inspection, income/employment verification," Auty said.

TechCrunch - Johnson discusses 3 main challenges the technology needs to overcome:
Finding good enterprise-level blockchain software developers - expanding on the number of qualified workforce required in many project teams

Reaching critical mass - mass adoption by the mainstream, consumer, governmental and business industries
Thanks @tysler I quite really like what you said about improvements of technology! verily, if there is massive adoption even the government official will want to join in when they feel the reality of it.
This time is revelations I think that's demand of time.
Every government adoption for future growth and development services that is my resume.
The mortgage network can really benefit feom blockchain. I hope they utilize blockchain to its full potential.
Definitely！Imagine less disputes over land ownership and leases - a great step forward
