Several public sources
• Real-world use cases now outweigh cost as top barrier.
• Enterprise quantum demand is shifting from hype to ROI testing.
The fact
SAS has announced SAS Quantum Lab, due to become available to SAS Viya customers in the fourth quarter. The workspace is designed for users to test and compare classical, quantum and hybrid computing approaches for specific business use cases. SAS also published a survey of more than 500 global leaders showing uncertainty over practical applications is now the main obstacle to quantum AI adoption, ahead of cost and skills shortages.
The Assessment
The key signal is shifting buyer priorities. Enterprise interest appears intact, but spending decisions are increasingly tied to measurable business outcomes rather than access to emerging technology. By embedding experimentation tools inside Viya, SAS positions itself as a software-layer gateway to future quantum adoption. That could strengthen customer retention if enterprises prefer hybrid pathways over direct quantum infrastructure bets.
