Unisys Positioned in Leaders Quadrant in Leading Analyst Firm's 2008 Outsourcing Magic Quadrant Reports

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, 2008 and Help Desk Outsourcing, 2008.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant reports evaluate outsourcing services providers on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. The Desktop Outsourcing Services report focuses on services that support organizations’ IT hardware and software resources, from servers through network devices, laptops and personal digital assistants, along with related environmental software. The Help Desk Outsourcing report concentrates on services involving management and resolution of end-user support requests.

Worldwide, Unisys is a leading provider in the desktop and help desk outsourcing spaces, supporting more than 1.6 million users – 53 percent from the United States – and managing more than 7.5 million help desk calls annually.

Building upon its best practices for outsourcing services and leveraging expertise in the vertical industries it targets, Unisys emphasizes globally standardized processes and a workforce optimized for service delivery across all theaters the company serves.

“Enterprises in North America and worldwide must constantly adjust to emerging trends, such as the increasing use of consumer technologies by mobile workers,” said Sue Watts, vice president and managing partner, North America, Unisys Global Outsourcing and Infrastructure Services. “More and more, those organizations need outsourcing partners who can provide creative, cost-efficient services to support enterprise end-users’ evolving requirements. We believe that our position in the ‘Leaders’ quadrant in these prestigious Gartner reports confirms Unisys success in providing outsourcing services that help our clients overcome and capitalize on the challenges of a dynamic marketplace.”

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