Unisys

Unisys Corporation is an American multinational information technology company formed in 1986 by the merger of Burroughs Corporation and Sperry Corporation. It traces its heritage to the data-processing and hardware businesses of its predecessor companies and has since shifted its emphasis toward services, software, and cybersecurity. The company provides IT services, including systems integration, digital transformation, cloud and infrastructure services, cybersecurity, and support for public sector and commercial clients. It maintains legacy platforms rooted in its mainframe and enterprise computing lineage while offering modernization and migration services through newer software and cloud solutions. Notable product areas include security offerings such as Unisys Stealth, a network security technology, along with advisory services in risk management and compliance. The firm has promoted cloud-enabled services and managed services under brands like CloudForte.

Historically, Unisys built its business around mainframes and enterprise hardware through its Sperry Univac and Burroughs roots, but gradually reorganized to focus on services and outsourcing as demand for hardware declined. The company has undergone multiple restructurings and strategic refocusing to emphasize IT services, software, and cybersecurity for government and large commercial customers. It operates globally with delivery centers and offices across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions.

Unisys is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker UIS. The company’s evolution reflects a broader industry shift from hardware manufacturing to integrative IT services, cloud, and security solutions aimed at large-scale enterprises and public sector clients.
