"[The contracts] reflect our expertise in infrastructure modernization and hybrid cloud solutions, for which demand is strong. As a result of the increased flexibility pro forma for the sale of U.S. Federal, we will have better ability to pursue these opportunities going forward, with sales efforts already underway," said Eric Hutto, senior vice president and president, Unisys Enterprise Solutions.
Unisys secured a two-year, $144 million contract from a U.S. state government for an integrated security framework and related disaster recovery services as well as to continue to provide private hybrid cloud services.
