Unisys announces strategy aimed at driving profitable growth

BANGALORE: Unisys Corporation outlined details of an aggressive strategy intended to put the Blue Bell, Pa.-based company in a position for profitable growth.

The company said in a statement that the strategy builds on its strengths in secure, mission-critical operations and is designed to strengthen and focus the company's products and solutions portfolio, service delivery model and operational management.

“Today we are announcing a focused approach to deliver the benefits of secure business operations to make a visible difference to our clients' businesses,” said Unisys president and CEO, Joe McGrath. “The plan we're putting in place addresses the challenges we face today, and we believe it will allow Unisys to assume a leadership position in our focus markets.”

Unisys plans to focus its services and solutions portfolio on five fast-growing market segments. The five high-growth areas include initiatives in enterprise security, Microsoft enterprise software, open source and Linux support and solutions, outsourcing and real-time infrastructure.

Building on its strengths in mission-critical computing, online transaction processing, IT services and security, Unisys plans to deliver solutions in these areas through the company's vertical industry business units and its technology and IT services businesses. In each of the focus areas, the company will rely on the Unisys 3D Visible Enterprise (3D-VE) strategy, designed to give clients true visibility into their business and IT operations, so they can see the critical linkages and results of business decisions even before they make them.

Alliance partnerships with a select group of world-class IT companies that are leaders in their respective markets are a key factor in the development and delivery of Unisys refocused portfolio. The reinvigorated alliance program includes expanded relationships with IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Oracle in the areas of joint sales, solutions delivery and engineering.

To deliver this portfolio, Unisys is changing its customer, delivery and operational management strategies to maximize effectiveness for clients, create greater focus and simplicity in its business, and drive cost efficiencies, the statement said.
