Roadmap Design for Integrating Quantum Computing into Enterprise Systems

Abstract

Enterprise adoption of quantum computing requires systematic roadmap design bridging the gap between current NISQ hardware capabilities and production enterprise workloads in finance, logistics, pharma, and manufacturing. Unlike prior quantum roadmap work addressing hardware milestones, enterprise integration roadmaps must address organisational readiness, hybrid quantum-classical architecture design, workforce capability development, vendor ecosystem evaluation, and total cost of ownership modelling. This paper proposes the Quantum Enterprise Integration Roadmap (QEIR) framework, a structured methodology for designing 5-10 year quantum adoption plans across four enterprise sectors. QEIR is validated through case studies of 12 enterprise quantum adoption programmes across financial services, pharmaceutical R&D;, supply chain optimisation, and energy grid management. Key results: enterprises achieving Enterprise Quantum Readiness Score (EQRS) > 0.70 realise quantum-enabled process improvements within 24 months; hybrid quantum-classical architectures reduce time-to-value by 58% versus pure quantum approaches; workforce quantum literacy programmes increase adoption success rate by 42%. The framework provides sector-specific roadmap templates and a validated EQRS assessment tool.
