its Predictive Freight Solution was named Best Software
Architecture at the ICMG 2017 Australasian & Asia Pacific
Architecture Excellence Awards, recognizing achievements in the
field of enterprise, business and IT architecture.
The awards were presented at ICMG's Architecture World Summit in
Sydney on July 13-14. A jury comprised exclusively of
industry professionals honored Unisys' predictive freight solution
for its modern, cloud-based architecture and ability to greatly
improve supply chain visibility and route planning. Unisys
Predictive Freight is an integral part of Digistics™ by Unisys, a
holistic and integrated cargo logistics solution that enables

industry involves enabling a shift from reactive tracking and
monitoring to being able to move to a more proactive, agile
approach," said Eric Hutto, senior
vice president and president, Enterprise Solutions, Unisys. "We are
empowering businesses to make more informed decisions that can
dramatically improve delivery performance and enhance customer

software-driven, catalogue-based approach better enables us to
address those business challenges facing the travel and
transportation industry."
