BENGALURU, India and BLUE BELL,
Pa., Sept. 16, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today
announced that registration is open for the 12th edition of Cloud
20/20™, the company's annual flagship technical project competition
for engineering students across India.
Established in 2009, the contest enables students to develop
career-ready technical and soft skills by applying their
theoretical knowledge in using innovative technologies to solve
real problems.
The contest is open to research students, postgraduates,
pre-final and final-year engineering students in computer science,
information technology and other related streams. The contest
comprises two primary programs:
- The Student Innovation Program (SIP) challenges students to use
emerging technologies for original and creative solutions to
problems they have defined themselves.
- The Targeted Innovation Program (TIP), introduced in 2019,
tasks students with solving specific business problems that Unisys
and its clients and industry partners submit.
"We are proud that for more than a decade Unisys has provided a
strong and stable platform for college and university students to
connect effectively with the IT industry," said K Nageswara Rao,
vice president, Unisys Asia Pacific Engineering, Products and
Platforms. "The Cloud 20/20 competition not only serves as the
stepping stone to the professional world for students, but also
helps them establish connections with the business community and
gives Unisys access to great ideas and technical thinking as
well."
Both the TIP and SIP programs offer students the opportunity to
collaborate with their peers, faculty and Unisys mentors, who
provide them with guidance and expertise in the run-up to the
competition.
Cloud 20/20 has motivated students to work on innovative
projects in cloud-based applications and microservices, cloud
computing infrastructure, security and multimodal biometrics, among
other advanced disciplines. With close to 50,000 individual member
registrations since 2009, the event is one of India's most anticipated technical contests
for engineering students.
"The Cloud 20/20 contest keeps getting bigger and better every
year," said Sumed Marwaha, managing director, Unisys India and
regional vice president, Services. "The 11-year record of
innovation, superior learning quotient for students and
participation by Unisys clients and partners and relevant industry
bodies combine to make Cloud 20/20 a much-awaited event for both
the industry and academia. We look forward to another successful
edition of Cloud 20/20 – an event that truly celebrates the spirit
of innovation and collaboration."
