The agreement means that BT network montoring and management services are now part of the core Unisys IT outsourcing solution. Unisys intends to implement the BT services as part of its suite of managed network solutions for its global client base.
Unisys and BT also intend to collaborate on innovative business solutions for next-generation communications capabilities – especially in converged local area network/wide area networking (LAN/WAN) which the companies say can substantially enhance enterprises’ market competitiveness and improve productivity.
“Drawing on a long-term relationship between our companies, this agreement with BT strengthens the value Unisys can deliver to our clients around the world,” Unisys Global Outsourcing and Infrastructure Services president Randy Hendricks said.
“Combining BT’s worldwide scale and networking expertise with Unisys comprehensive IT services management experience extends our ability to provide next-generation network support today, and help clients innovate for the future.”
This agreement with BT is the latest milestone in the services relationship between the two companies.
Unisys already provides BT Global Services with managed network products and services as a key element of select Unisys IT outsourcing client engagements where the two companies collaborate. Unisys also delivers fulfillment services such as staging, installation and maintenance of servers and routers, on behalf of BT Global Services in more than 100 countries.
“Unisys and BT have a strong collaborative relationship, capitalszing on complementary strengths in numerous client engagements,” BT Global Services chief executive Francois Barrault said.
“By adding BT network management services to the Unisys outsourcing portfolio, we can expand global operations and build on a relationship that goes from strength to strength,” he said.
