Lenovo is building an Intelligent Command Center for FIFA World Cup 2026™

This edition of FIFA World Cup™ will be unlike any tournament that has come before it. The tournament will feature 48 teams, 104 matches, 16 cities, and will span three countries. The logistical challenges of running an event at this scale are significant and require a fundamentally different approach from how major tournaments have been managed in the past. Lenovo is answering the call with its Intelligent Command Center (ICC).

What exactly is Lenovo’s Intelligent Command Center? 

The ICC is a centralized, real-time operations platform that gives FIFA a holistic, live view of everything happening across the tournament. It aggregates data from multiple operational systems into a single environment, giving officials a shared source of truth from venue-level activity to tournament-wide trends. 

While previous tournaments relied on teams consuming information from different systems with fragmented information, the ICC brings it all together in one place, in real-time.

Who is it built for? 

The ICC is designed for FIFA operations teams and executives, who need a shared, live operational picture to coordinate and make decisions quickly. It is a fundamental feature of the Tournament Operations Center (TOC) in Miami, the venue from which FIFA oversees the entire tournament. Big screens will display real-time insights and alerts, and operational details will be made available to appropriate stakeholders directly into the palm of their hands on Lenovo tablets and devices.   

When something happens the ICC helps ensure that the people who need to act are all looking at the same information, aiding a controlled and synchronized response.

How does this change tournament operations?

At a tournament spanning three countries and 16 stadiums, seamless coordination becomes more important than ever. Different functional areas can now update each other in real-time from across the continent, recurring issues can be shared in seconds, and informed decisions can be made faster. 

Building on this, the ICC introduces a more connected way of working. While tournament operations have traditionally relied on siloed systems, the ICC brings these together into a live, unified view of operations. This enables FIFA officials to identify potential bottlenecks, risks, and disruptions earlier and respond more effectively as situations evolve.

What is Lenovo’s role? 

Lenovo’s role is to design and build the ICC platform, ensuring its seamless execution across functionality, performance, and responsiveness. Lenovo enables the integration of data, dashboards, and decision-support tools that power the platform. Working in close partnership with FIFA’s operations teams, Lenovo ensures the platform reflects the agreed operational requirements and meets defined standards, enabling a consistent, reliable, and real-time view of tournament operations for all stakeholders when it matters most.

What else does the ICC provide? 

Beyond real-time monitoring, the ICC supports collaboration across teams, scenario planning ahead of matches, and post-event analysis to help FIFA continuously improve operational execution across venues and throughout the tournament.

Lenovo Recognized in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026

 

Lenovo has once again been ranked in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026, achieving its highest-ever ranking at seventh globally. The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 is a renowned annual ranking of the world’s superior supply chains. Now in its 22nd year, the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 identifies, celebrates and profiles excellence in supply chain management. Supply chain teams use the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 to benchmark performance, transform operations and lead in the future. Lenovo ranked eighth in 2025, 10th in 2024, and eighth in 2023.

AI Builds Greater Supply Chain Resilience

Global supply chains have faced unprecedented disruption over the past 12 months, driven by tariffs, component shortages, and geopolitical tensions. Lenovo’s strength amid these challenging circumstances has been its ability to build on its AI infrastructure behind its global supply chain, improving resilience, adaptability and execution at speed and scale.

Over the past year, Lenovo has evolved its Supply Chain Intelligence “digital nervous system” to develop iChain, a continuously learning orchestration system that coordinates thousands of suppliers and more than 30 manufacturing sites globally. iChain is delivering tangible results for Lenovo’s supply chain operations, including 60% faster decision-making, near real-time disruption response, and a 90% automation of network simulations that reduces manual analysis from two to three weeks down to two to three hours.

Lenovo remains committed to sustainability and continues to focus on future-proofing its operations by making the supply chain more resilient and intelligent.

“At Lenovo, we’ve always considered our Global Supply Chain as a key pillar of our operational excellence,” said Che Min Tu, Senior Vice President and Group Operations Officer, Lenovo. “Over the past 12 months, the ability to respond quickly to disruption has become essential for every business. By fully integrating AI into our operations, we’ve been able to meet our customer needs more quickly and respond to complex situations. We not only withstand disruption; we become stronger because of it. It’s this approach that’s helped Lenovo navigate changing market conditions, maintain a competitive advantage, and deliver its strongest year in the company’s history.”

Resilience Delivers Measurable Business Results

This resilience is translating into business performance. Lenovo retained its number one position in global PC market share, with the gap to the second-ranked competitor widening to its largest level in 15 years.

At the same time, integrating the Infrastructure Solutions Group supply chain into the broader global network has helped accelerate growth in Lenovo’s infrastructure business, supporting record operating profit and margins.

As global supply chains continue to grow more complex, Lenovo’s model is evolving beyond the high-volume PC business, where a single device can include an average of 2,500 components, to meet hypergrowth demand for AI infrastructure, enterprise solutions, and next-generation workloads. This positions Lenovo to maintain leadership in the global supply chain landscape by scaling AI server manufacturing, expanding liquid-cooled server capacity, and strengthening its global-local manufacturing network.

Lenovo’s Global, Anti-Fragile Supply Chain Strategy

Today, Lenovo’s supply chain spans more than 30 manufacturing sites in 10 markets across Asia Pacific, China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North America, and South America. Last year, Lenovo broke ground on a new manufacturing base in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Once operational, the advanced manufacturing facility will manufacture PCs, smartphones, and servers for the Middle East and Africa market, and will include a research and development center, talent enablement programs, and a customer experience center. Lenovo is committed to supporting the creation of thousands of local jobs, enabling knowledge transfer, and driving long-term economic value creation in Saudi Arabia.

In addition, Lenovo’s manufacturing site in Monterrey, Mexico, was recently recognized as one of 12 new additions to the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network, a community of 201 leading manufacturers recognized for applying advanced technologies at scale. It is the second Lenovo site to receive this recognition, following the company’s site in Hefei, China, which was recognized in January 2023.

In September 2025, Lenovo announced a major investment and job expansion at its U.S. manufacturing and fulfilment campus in Whitsett, North Carolina. The three‑building campus spans more than 800,000 square feet and employs approximately 1,100 people. The site supports server manufacturing, rack integration, and order fulfilment for customers across the United States.

How are companies ranked in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25?

A Top 25 supply chain ranking is based on an equal weighting of business metrics and community opinion.

Business metrics comprise financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. Financial metrics are based on a combination of three-year weighted return on physical assets (ROPA), ROPA change and revenue growth, plus inventory turns across the year. ESG data is derived from trusted third-party sources in the areas of commitment, transparency and performance across each area of ESG.

Community opinion is based on the feedback of peer voters from the community and Gartner experts. Peer voters cast votes for their personal choice of the Top 25 supply chains. They base their decisions on perceived end-to-end supply chain maturity and leadership, specifically the supply chains that are run as strategic assets to deliver business and societal outcomes by partnering beyond their own organizations and that are thriving through uncertainty.

Lenovo and Asian Hospital Strengthen Healthcare Delivery Through Standardized, Reliable PC Infrastructure

Lenovo has partnered with Asian Hospital and Medical Center to enhance clinical efficiency and accelerate the hospital’s digital transformation by standardizing endpoint devices across the institution. As part of the Metro Pacific Hospital (MPH) Group—which operates nearly 30 hospitals nationwide—Asian Hospital has been at the forefront of MPH’s initiative to unify and modernize PC infrastructure across its network.

Asian Hospital, a premier tertiary institution located in the southern part of Metro Manila, is recognized as one of the group’s largest and most advanced facilities. Leading this effort is Frank N. Vibar, Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees hospital information systems (HIS), electronic medical records (EMR), network and data center infrastructure, and all end-user computing devices.

“Our mandate is not just to digitize,” says Frank N. Vibar, CIO of Asian Hospital and Medical Center. “Our mandate is to ensure that every piece of technology we deploy ultimately makes it easier for our clinicians to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care.”

Addressing Device Instability Affecting Patient Care

Prior to standardizing with Lenovo, Asian Hospital used a wide mix of devices from multiple brands, resulting in inconsistencies in performance and reliability. Slowdowns, crashes, and unexpected shutdowns frequently disrupted clinical workflows, including medical record access and documentation. Device-related concerns averaged over 200 support calls per month, often requiring urgent intervention from IT staff to keep care activities running smoothly.

“In a hospital context, a failing laptop is not just an inconvenience—it has a direct impact on patient care,” explains Vibar. “If a doctor is recording diagnoses or reviewing patient data and the device slows down or crashes, it disrupts the entire care process and creates frustration for both clinician and patient.”

This environment prompted Asian Hospital to seek a partner capable of delivering predictable, stable, and reliable end-user devices designed to support life-critical healthcare operations.

A Strategic Partnership for Standardization and Performance

Asian Hospital selected Lenovo for its strong reputation for reliability, enterprise-grade support, and robust product development.

“We needed a partner that could provide stability, consistency, and reliability—both in the devices themselves and in the support behind them,” says Vibar. “Lenovo gave us confidence that we could standardize without sacrificing performance or availability.”

Through close coordination, Lenovo and Asian Hospital aligned device categories with specific user workflows—for finance, HR, mobile users, nurse stations, ER units, and clinical areas requiring barcode scanning for closed-loop medication workflows.

“We know our workflow, and Lenovo knows its products,” Vibar shares. “By collaborating on user profiles and device types, we were able to match our requirements with the right endpoints and ensure that every device deployed delivers real value to the user.”

Transformative Results: From 200 Monthly Issues to Almost Zero

The transition to Lenovo devices has produced measurable improvements across Asian Hospital. As legacy devices were replaced with Lenovo units, monthly incident reports dropped from over 200 tickets to almost zero in Lenovo-equipped areas.

“As we gradually replaced legacy devices with Lenovo, complaints about performance and breakdowns from our doctors and nurses went from over 200 tickets a month to almost zero,” says Vibar. “That translates directly into smoother access to our hospital information system and electronic medical records—and ultimately, better continuity of patient care.”

The hospital also observed dramatically improved system performance, with doctors and nurses reporting faster workflows and more stable access to HIS and EMR systems.

With endpoint issues nearly eliminated and IT operations becoming more efficient, staff are now able to focus on upskilling in cybersecurity, networking, data analytics, and AI integration. Additionally, expanded device availability in critical areas and workflow analyses led to the deployment of additional Lenovo units in high-demand areas such as the Emergency Room.

Signifying strong clinician satisfaction, users in Lenovo-enabled areas are now proactively requesting the replacement of older units—signaling a clear preference for and confidence in the newly standardized devices.

Asian Hospital’s Vision and Lenovo’s Role

As part of the MPH Group, Asian Hospital is pursuing its vision of becoming a flagship smart hospital—both within the organization and across the Philippine healthcare sector.

“Asian Hospital aims to be a flagship smart hospital for our group and for the Philippines,” Vibar affirms. “We want to keep Filipino patients from having to go abroad for care while also attracting patients from other countries.”

With Lenovo as a long-term strategic partner, the hospital is ready to pilot new healthcare use cases, technologies, and innovations proven in hospitals abroad.

“If Lenovo has hospital use cases that are already tried and tested elsewhere, bring them here and we will help test them,” says Vibar. “If we see that a technology can improve healthcare delivery and patient care, we are ready to adopt it.”

Asian Hospital’s partnership with Lenovo underscores its commitment to advancing digital healthcare and delivering reliable, patient-centered services supported by smart, standardized technology.
