RESTON, Va., April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced it will provide a
digital government solution to enable the Michigan Gaming Control
Board (MGCB) to more easily and effectively access information
needed to license and regulate gaming activities in the state.
The MGCB serves the citizens of Michigan by performing licensing, regulation
and oversight activities for casinos, horse racing and "millionaire
party" charitable gaming. Under the five-year, multimillion dollar
contract, Unisys will create a modern, collaborative operating
environment that digitizes the MGCB's records and documents. As a
result, MGCB employees will more easily locate and share – both
internally and with the public – information needed to oversee
gaming in the state. The new solution will replace numerous
disparate, legacy systems.
Residing in the Microsoft Azure government cloud, the Unisys
solution includes Unisys InfoImage® enterprise content
management software to enable MGCB employees to capture, manage,
store and easily access any content required for cases, inquiries
and process-centric work, regardless of data structure or document
origination. It also includes AMANDA case management and compliance
software from CSDC Systems. Unisys will customize the software to
support a broad variety of activities associated with licensing and
regulating casinos, horse racing and charitable "millionaire party"
gaming events.
The solution's optical character recognition capabilities will
allow users to photograph documents with mobile phones and deliver
them into the case management systems, making the information
immediately available in a digital format.
"Unisys looks forward to helping the State of Michigan more easily oversee and
regulate gaming to protect the security of all participants as well
as revenues," said Mark Forman,
global head, vice president and general manager for public sector
at Unisys. "Our experience and success in providing digital
solutions for government will help the Michigan Gaming Control
Board streamline processes and improve customer service, while
cutting the costs and paperwork burdens of maintaining numerous,
disparate legacy systems."
"The MGCB has worked diligently to improve internal processes,
but multiple legacy systems limit our progress," said Richard Kalm, MGCB executive director. "The
new information management system will enable our agency to make
many more process and customer service improvements. This is great
news for the gaming and horse racing businesses and charities we
license and regulate and the citizens of Michigan we are sworn to protect."
