Unisys Signs New IT Outsourcing Services Contract with City of Minneapolis
Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced that it has received a
five-year contract to provide IT outsourcing services to the city of
Minneapolis. The contract has a value of $48 million, assuming the
contract runs for its full five-year term.
Unisys will provide the city with outsourcing services through 2012,
continuing a relationship that began in 2003.
Unisys will provide a full range of outsourcing services to manage the
city’s complete IT infrastructure, from the
data center to desktops and mobile devices. The Unisys services, which
range from technology planning to end-user support, data center
management and network management, benefit all agencies of the city
government, including the mayor’s office, city
council, fire and police departments and the public works department.
"Our outsourcing relationship with Unisys has
enabled city government to realize significant operational efficiencies
and IT cost savings,” said Lynn Willenbring,
chief information officer, city of Minneapolis.
"By capitalizing on Unisys expertise in IT
management, we have been able to focus our internal IT resources on new
initiatives to benefit our citizens and business community. As we go
forward, we anticipate achieving new levels of service for the citizens
of Minneapolis.”
Unisys manages the city’s virtualized server
environment from the Unisys data center in Eagan, Minnesota. Unisys
recently announced an expansion to its Eagan data center that makes use
of "green”
technology as well as restoration of associated prairie land –
benefiting the city, other Unisys clients and the surrounding community.
Unisys has helped the city reduce the number of servers it requires by
about 55 percent through virtualization.
"Innovation, service delivery and cost
reduction have been the hallmark of Unisys outsourcing relationship with
the city of Minneapolis,” said Randy
Hendricks, president, Unisys Global Industries. "Unisys
intends to build on that commitment to help the city achieve its goal of
providing a continually growing range of government services to all
constituents around the clock, 365 days a year.”
Unisys has a longstanding relationship with the city and under other
agreements will continue providing infrastructure support for critical
applications and facilities, including the city’s
911 emergency and 311 non-emergency call systems and two mobile command
center vehicles, which provide wireless network access for disaster
management. The command center vehicles were instrumental to the city’s
emergency response in the August 2007 Interstate 35W bridge collapse.

Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements contained in this release that are not historical facts
are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on
assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The
city has the option to renew this agreement for up to two additional,
two-year periods but the value referred to above does not include such
elective optional periods. Statements in this release regarding the
total value of the contract assume that the city of Minneapolis will
continue the contract for the full five-year term, and will not elect to
end the agreement early, which is entirely within their discretion.
Because the agreement may not continue for the full five-year term, and
agreements with government agencies are subject to the availability of
appropriated funds, the value is not guaranteed. Additional discussion
of factors that could affect Unisys future results is contained in
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
