RESTON, Va.,
June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS)
today announced that the U.S. Army
selected the company to participate in its program for cloud
hosting services work through the estimated $247 million Army Cloud Computing
Enterprise Transformation (ACCENT) Basic Ordering
Agreement (BOA).
The three-year ACCENT BOA will provide a vehicle for
organizations within the Army to transition workloads and
applications to the cloud. The vehicle also covers additional
services such as security and application analysis, planning and
business process reengineering.
Unisys is well positioned to participate in the
program thanks to the company's leading role in successfully and
securely transitioning enterprise applications to the cloud for
government and private sector clients. For example,
the Department of the Interior worked with
Unisys to become the first U.S. federal organization to move its
financial management system to the cloud. Unisys also
helped the U.S. General Services
Administration fully transition its email and
collaboration system to the cloud, another first for the federal
government.
"We look forward to opportunities under this BOA to help
the Army obtain the efficiencies and cost savings inherent in the
cloud," said Jennifer Napper, group
vice president for Department of Defense and intelligence agencies,
Unisys Federal. "With our proven track record of helping more than
20 U.S. federal agencies successfully move to the cloud, Unisys is
uniquely positioned to help the Army achieve its goal."
