Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) announced today that the Indiana Department of Child Services has contracted with Unisys to maintain, enhance and evolve the Indiana Child Welfare Information System (ICWIS) over the next 18 months.
This work is an extension of a contract on which Unisys began working in 1995, when the state hired the company to design, develop and implement a statewide child welfare system for 92 Indiana counties. Since then, Unisys has won a series of ongoing support and maintenance contracts to enhance the application based on client requirements.
Under the new contract, Unisys will provide:
* Ongoing maintenance, monitoring support and help desk services on a 24x7x365 basis;
* Enhancements to help make the system compliant with the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System’s (SACWIS) federal requirements; and
* A redesigned user interface, so that the application better supports the case workers workflow and ease-of-use.
About Unisys Services for Child Welfare
Aging child welfare systems do not address many of today’s stringent requirements for centralized oversight of children. To ensure that no child is overlooked, enhancing states’ child welfare information systems must be a top priority.
Today, integration with other key systems and efficient communications with workers is critical to providing core services. The Unisys framework for human services can help achieve this. Using this 3D Visible Enterprise approach, Unisys can help states gain the visibility they need to integrate with other systems by demonstrating the connections among strategy, processes and infrastructure. This approach can help customers see how a change — any change — can affect operations. With added visibility comes increased agility to deal proactively with those changes.
