Abaqus Computing vs DirectHotels.com

Abaqus is building a research platform to enable financial organisations to explore, experiment and deploy quantum computing for risk management, optimization and pricing.

We look to partner with visionary financial services firms to enable them to tackle otherwise intractable computational problems. We deliver skills transfer, access to hardware, and expertise and quantum algorithm development to accelerate quantum readiness for financial services.

Innovative meta-search travel engine focused on hotel coupons and direct bookings.

DirectHotels.com is placing direct bookings as the priority for the new meta-search engine. There is a possibility to get promo codes to use on hotels’ official website. What is more, whenever a hotel is offering any benefits for booking directly (e.g. free breakfast or better cancellation policy) it will be visible in the search results. Additionally, the lowest price from all the booking sites is shown - in this case, a tourist can choose the best option based on facts given by hotel and travel sites. Both hotelier and a customer are profitable in this model.
