BLUE BELL, Pa., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that the company's
secure digital transformation of its business and IT operations has
earned it a 2019 CIO 100 award from leading IT media outlet
CIO. This is the second consecutive year in which
Unisys' ongoing transformation has won CIO 100 recognition.
In announcing their selections, CIO's editors noted that
Unisys and other honorees "exemplify what it means to deliver
business value through the innovative use of technology. This elite
group is creating competitive advantage in their organizations,
improving business processes, enabling growth and improving
relationships with customers."
Unisys' digital transformation has fulfilled those criteria and
more. It has been a catalyst for innovation, enabling the company
to reduce IT costs and redirect more resources toward building new
capabilities. For example, in 2017, 25% of Unisys IT labor focused
on innovation; now, more than 40% does so. In addition, in 2018 the
company reduced the cost of running IT by 14% versus 2017 and has
shown improved associate satisfaction with delivery of digital
equipment, collaboration tools and network improvements.
"Thanks to our digital transformation, Unisys today is a far
more agile organization than we were two years ago," said
Upinder Phanda, vice president and
chief information officer, Unisys. "We have transformed the
economics of IT within the company, from a capital model to an
on-demand expense model so we can grow or shrink our IT environment
as our business changes. By migrating to the cloud, we have lowered
support costs associated with installing and maintaining hardware
or upgrading data centers and have refocused our IT associates on
innovation for the business. Our success provides a model for our
clients as they pursue their own digital transformation goals and
burnishes our credentials as an organization that can deliver the
same benefits for them."
The following are just a few key enablers of Unisys'
transformation:
- Built a security wrapper for the hybrid cloud environment with
Unisys Stealth®, which uses identity-based dynamic
isolation™ to empower the organization to respond to threats in a
matter of seconds by quickly and proactively isolating users and
devices;
- Moved more than 500 servers and 530 terabytes of storage
securely to the Microsoft Azure cloud;
- Migrated more than 300 core applications from on-premise data
centers to the cloud;
- Made robotics a key part of the IT and business infrastructure
− from robotic process automation (RPA) of previously manual
activities to bots for improved self-service and end-user
productivity in resolving technical issues; and
- Revamped corporate IT policies thoroughly to reflect and
further the new digital way of delivering services to the
business.
