IBM announced a five-year global technology modernization agreement with Abertis to upgrade Abertis’s infrastructure, including migrating to SAP S/4HANA. IBM Consulting will provide consulting, implementation and technology management across Spain, France, the UK, Chile and Puerto Rico, with options to extend. The project targets greater scalability, reliability and near real-time analytics, and includes support for web portals and mobile apps for account, vehicle and payment management.
The article says quantum computing has moved beyond early hype into the NISQ phase, with cloud-accessible systems reaching hundreds of qubits and progress in error mitigation, gate fidelity and connectivity. It cites lab results showing scalable error correction (e.g., Google’s Willow) and expects early “quantum advantage” examples before end-2026. It outlines milestones toward fault-tolerant prototypes in 2028–29 and post-quantum cryptography by 2030.
