USJV is a joint venture between Delta Airlines, Air France, and Korean Air, offering cargo-related services in the U.S.

Under the terms of the contract, Unisys will provide USJV with outsourced data center, security, network and desktop management services over a three-year period.

Unisys combination of outsourcing and air cargo expertise made them an ideal fit for our business needs, said Nicholas Cushnie, vice president, Commercial Network, U.S. Cargo Sales Joint Venture. By putting our technology in Unisys hands, we can focus 100 percent on providing valuable cargo services to our customers on behalf of our parent companies.

With one point of contact, the USJV can offer customers cargo capacity to Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Australia.

As part of this project, the USJVs IT operations will move from its current facilities in Atlanta to Unisys outsourcing facilities in Eagan, Minnesota and Salt Lake City, where Unisys will monitor, analyze, test, and perform security management and hardware maintenance on the IT infrastructure equipment. Unisys will integrate 15 servers and associated environments using Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)-based best practices. Furthermore, Unisys will employ comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation practices to allow a smooth migration.

This outsourcing engagement affords Unisys an opportunity to help a unique venture streamline operations, maximize its technology resources and lower its IT management costs, said Alfred G.
