IT News Round-up Nov 2021

Innovation Hub

Welcome to our news and blog section. Here you will find the latest updates from theICEway and our IT specialists at ICE. We are frequently invited to attend and speak at industry events, so if you don’t want to miss out on those, this is the page for you.

With more than 20 years’ worth of experience in cruise, travel and healthcare, you will also be able to read more about these key sectors. Of course, at the heart of it all is Information Technology – which some of you may know as ‘IT’ – and we’ll certainly include news on that.

Our ecosystem of companies was founded upon 3 guiding principles, or values: People, integrity and innovation. We always aim to infuse our every effort with one or all of these. The first, ‘people’, includes not only our people, but also those we work alongside each day. If you are reading this, then you can rest assured that it also includes you.

As such, we welcome your comments and feedback so do join in the conversation. You can also follow us on social media using the links below.

VR Headsets To Be Used To Assess Surgery for Children

This story from BBC News is on innovative technology in healthcare. VR goggles may help parents to better understand the implications of brain surgery.

IBM Unveils An Advanced “Quantum” Processor

Another story from the BBC, this is well worth a read for those interested in IT. It remains to be seen whether or not IBM’s claims will prove significant but their new chip has twice as many “qubits” as their previous processor (127). Qubits – aka Quantum bits – are essentially the most basic information units in a quantum computer.
