The reduction of data processing obstacles which goes along with an increasing availability of valid data can be seen as a basis for the implementation of blockchain technology. Companies need to be enabled to collect and prepare data in a suitable way to fully use the potential of the technology. In practice, many companies struggle to process data in any kind based of the several described obstacles what hinder the implementation of blockchain in the first place. The prioritization procedure supports the evaluation of each single obstacle of a specific field of action and a concrete data processing activity as well as it enables a ranking of the evaluated obstacles.endata processingdata processing obstaclessystemic literature reviewprioritization procedureblockchain preparationpaper
