Unisys and Smead Manufacturing Honored as Winners of 2008 InfoWorld 100 Awards

Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that Unisys has been named a winner alongside its client, Smead Manufacturing, of the esteemed 2008 InfoWorld 100 Awards. The awards honor information technology (IT) organizations that have implemented and integrated technologies in innovative ways in pursuit of concrete business goals.

For the third year running, a Unisys client has been honored as a winner of this prestigious award.

“When our customers succeed, Unisys succeeds,” said Mark Feverston, general manager, Microsoft Solutions, Unisys. “It’s so gratifying to help a customer like Smead achieve cost savings and operational efficiencies and apply those same types of problem-solving techniques and expertise internally for the same end goal.”

Smead Server Consolidation Success

Smead Manufacturing, of Hastings, Minnesota, is a leading provider of document management solutions for home, school, and business use. It was honored for a project on which it teamed with Unisys to reduce the “server sprawl” challenge facing its network. The IT team devised a strategy that centered on server consolidation, successfully deploying a Unisys ES7000 Enterprise Server and Microsoft Windows Datacenter platform to streamline operations, cut costs, and scale to handle increased database use.

By moving toward a modernized, virtualized IT infrastructure – having already consolidated approximately 120 physical servers down to fewer than 10 through virtualization – Smead can manage and run various applications simultaneously in a more efficient way, without negatively impacting server capacity.

“The results we have achieved in operational efficiency, increased productivity and faster service to customers through virtualization have surpassed our initial expectations,” said Joe Vossen, vice president of Information Services at Smead. “By better controlling server resources and reducing associated IT maintenance and support costs, Smead anticipates a $3.2 million return on investment over the next three years.”

Unisys Portfolio Information Maximized

Unisys was recognized for developing the Portfolio Center within Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). The Portfolio Center is a global platform for the dissemination of information and expertise relating to the entire portfolio of Unisys product and service offerings. The Portfolio Center imposes structure on diverse information assets, verifying their quality and relevance and making them easily accessible to people who need them. A primary goal was to increase productivity by reducing delivery cost and increasing cross-selling across business units. Through the new Portfolio Center, assets can now be mixed and matched to develop client solutions without regard to where in the company the service or product originate.

The Unisys field staff estimates that they will reduce proposal costs by between 11% and 30% by being able to quickly find and use the information they need. This equates to a $120,000 savings on every $1 million the company spends on proposals.
