Unisys becomes one of the first companies to achieve AWS Government Competency
London, UK June 21, 2016 – Unisys Corporation today announced it has been recognised by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as one of its first partners to achieve AWS Government Competency, a new component of the AWS Competency Program which highlights companies demonstrating technical proficiency and success in delivering specialised cloud-based solutions on AWS to customers.
Today’s announcement marks the first time the AWS Competency Program has recognised partners for specific expertise in delivering solutions to government clients. Unisys was selected based on its proven track record of successfully delivering cloud-based solutions on AWS to federal, state and local government agencies in the U.S., including clients like the Department of the Interior, the State of Washington and the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.
“We are pleased to be among the first companies recognised by AWS as having expertise in providing cloud-based, mission-critical solutions to clients across government,” said Venkatapathi “PV” Puvvada, president of Unisys Federal Systems. “This recognition validates Unisys’ approach to delivering more efficient and cost-saving cloud services to government, while reinforcing our position as a leader in bringing the benefits of these services to our public sector clients.”
