Unisys Corporation today announced that its Germany subsidiary has won a European-wide tender to manage and modernise the IT infrastructure for the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. The three-year outsourcing services agreement includes options for two additional yearly extensions.
Under the terms of the new contract, Unisys will replace existing PCs and printers with more powerful and state-of-the-art models and will provide services to improve the organisation’s server and overall network efficiency. Upgrades to the ministry’s IT infrastructure will include new virtualisation technologies to better manage storage capacity across the organization and enable faster and more efficient operations.
These expanded services are designed to help the ministry reduce risks, improve infrastructure availability and efficiency, and lower costs and energy consumption.
This contract extends the relationship between Unisys and the ministry that began in 2002. Over the course of its work, Unisys has deployed a full-service IT infrastructure at more than 200 sites, modernised more than 14,400 workplaces and implemented 78 peripheral server centers.
“Demands on the judiciary are growing every day – for example, having to provide electronic-justice communications or finding new ways to improve services for our citizens,” said Walther Bredl, director of Information and Communication at the ministry. “We understand that continuous, managed enhancement of our IT infrastructure is key to delivering these services. We have extended our relationship with Unisys, our long-term outsourcing services partner, because Unisys creates innovative solutions that best meet our individual business needs and provides the best value for the money.”
