RESTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced it was selected to provide
Google G Suite Enterprise, a cloud-based email and collaboration
solution, to help the 5,300 federal employees and contractors at
the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
perform the agency's record management duties to safeguard and
preserve U.S. government records.
This firm fixed price contract will run five years, with one
base year followed by four option years, and is worth approximately
$10 million if all options are
exercised. The competitive award builds on a previous five-year
contract, awarded in 2012, under which Unisys provided similar
cloud-based services.
The new contract also expands the services Unisys will provide
to include unlimited storage and other new features in Google G
Suite Enterprise, as well as continuing to provide support for
records management and mobile device management. Unisys will
continue to assist NARA in all aspects of installing the solution
and integrating it with the agency's records management system.
The award represents the latest success for Unisys as a leading
provider of cloud-based services to federal government agencies. In
October 2017, Unisys announced it was
selected to provide services and support to move the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission's high-performance computing operations to
the cloud. In addition, the Department of the Interior worked with
Unisys to become the first federal agency 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.
"Unisys looks forward to continuing our work to give National
Archives employees access to the benefits and efficiencies of the
cloud," said Chris Bauer, group vice
president, civilian agencies, Unisys Federal. "Under this new
contract, we will extend their ability to collaborate and to access
the records management tools they need to achieve their mission as
the nation's records keeper while saving money for the
government."
Unisys offers a wide range of software-led solutions for
government agencies around the world. Earlier this year, Unisys
launched Digital Government Accelerators, a new family of IT
services and software designed to help government agencies speed up
their transitions toward providing digital services.
