BLUE BELL, Pa., February 26, 2020 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced a series of public sector contracts with clients across the globe.
The Unisys contracts announced today are:
- A U.S. state government signed a contract with the company for an integrated security framework and related disaster recovery services as well as to continue to provide private hybrid cloud services.
