Unisys Secures Status As Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider For Third Year In A Row

Managed-service solution helps organisations accelerate cloud adoption and migration by empowering delivery of innovative, scalable, efficient, secure and compliant business services

 Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that for the third year in a row it has secured its status as a Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP).

Capitalising on the power of Azure, Unisys enables organisations to deploy and manage flexible, cost-efficient, secure and compliant cloud environments automatically, expanding the range of cloud-based services that are easily accessible anytime, anywhere. To pass the certification Unisys had to demonstrate that it had worked successfully with its Azure clients on its Cloud Management Platform (CMP), which is powered by its CloudForte® technologies.

Along with faster access to IT and customer services, the Unisys Cloud Management Platform and Microsoft Azure provide organisations with the following capabilities:

• Faster, lower-risk Azure adoption: More than 500 Microsoft-certified Unisys professionals help organisations migrate business critical workloads to the cloud;
• Continuous compliance and automated governance: Automated tools to enable organisations to establish and enforce effective governance frameworks aligned with their desired security and financial policies in real or near real time;
• Accurate, transparent billing and cost governance for all Azure services: Contract-invoicing capabilities, cost visibility and governance that comply fully with relevant industry regulations and federal government mandates;
• Industrial-grade modernisation of legacy applications: Help with identifying legacy IT assets – from the simple to the most complex – and prioritising their migration to the cloud;
• Real-time analytics and single-pane management: Enabling self-healing systems for continuous operational improvement and transparent management for multi- and hybrid cloud environments; and
• Zero-trust security and secure access to all Azure cloud services: Unisys’ deep expertise in enterprise security for mobile and cloud environments, including Unisys Stealth® identity-based micro-segmentation products and services to prevent and minimise the impact of cyberattacks across networks, environments and devices from inside and outside the perimeter.

“By again passing the Azure Expert MSP criteria, Unisys has proven that it can consistently and securely design, implement and manage Azure services,” said Mike Morrison, vice president, cloud and infrastructure, Unisys. “Our success with the clients for whom we are currently using AI-led automation, migrations, optimisation and security to realise the benefits of their cloud transformation is even more concrete proof.”

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Unisys holds 14 Microsoft Gold and Silver Competencies, including Cloud Productivity, Data Center and Windows and Devices. Click here to learn more about the Unisys-Microsoft alliance.
