Evaluation based on completeness of vision and ability to execute

BLUE BELL, Pa., May 10, 2007 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that it has been positioned in the “Leaders” quadrant in two recent Gartner Inc. North American Magic Quadrant reports: Desktop Outsourcing Services 2006 and Help Desk Outsourcing 2006.

 

The Gartner Magic Quadrant reports evaluate outsourcing services providers on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.

 

Unisys is a leading provider in the desktop and help desk outsourcing spaces, supporting more than 1.2 million seats and managing more than 7.1 million help desk calls annually, worldwide. Building upon its best practices for outsourcing services, Unisys has – as the reports point out – centralized control of its global resources for networking data and managed services centers to meet the shifting needs of global organizations.

 

To further enhance its offerings, Unisys made significant investments in delivery of desktop services, implementing software and hardware solutions from leading industry providers. These strategies have proven effective with clients who served as references for Unisys desktop services, citing Unisys flexibility and ability to rapidly make changes.

 

Unisys was also positioned in the “Leaders” quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for U.S. Managed and Professional Network Service Providers, 1H06.

 

“Our focus at Unisys is on driving business value for our clients through innovation,” said Alfred G. Binford, vice president and managing partner, North America, Unisys Global Outsourcing and Infrastructure Services. “Through our outsourcing solutions, we aim to enhance our clients’ competitive position and deliver tangible returns on IT investment. The outsourcing market represents a huge opportunity for Unisys, and we believe that our position in the ‘Leaders’ quadrant of these prestigious Gartner reports validates Unisys success in delivering those business benefits to our outsourcing clients in North America and across the globe.”

 

Gartner evaluated the providers’ products and services, overall viability, sales execution and pricing, market responsiveness and track record, marketing execution, customer experience, operations, market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, product strategy, business model, vertical/industry strategy, innovation and geographic strategy.
