Why Unisys for Oracle?

Clients of Unisys and Oracle benefit from a growing portfolio that includes a unique and highly complementary core of business knowledge, products, and service skills, forming the essential foundation for today’s advanced business solutions. We combine decades of experience in some of the world’s most complex and demanding business-critical IT environments with innovative software and hardware technologies to create a “Free IT” world – where companies are no longer constrained by yesterday’s technologies.

Businesses that were once forced to adopt processes based on their existing IT applications can enjoy the freedom of letting their preferred processes drive the applications, using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Unisys and Oracle enable “Free IT” through carefully planned and delivered modernization methods, helping businesses to compete like never before.

Finding the Right Solution

Unisys and Oracle help businesses, using:

• Vertical Industry Solutions and Business Expertise – Unisys experience in key vertical industries offers clients specialized application solutions and expertise, enabling them to map the path from business vision to business results, deploying an open-standards-based infrastructure for minimal risk.
• Unisys Blueprinting Methodology – Unisys brings Oracle users the agility to respond quickly to change with predictable results and measured efficiency, using blueprints that link a business’ vision, process models, applications, and infrastructure with top-to-bottom traceability.
• Skills and Experience – Unisys and Oracle have a history of collaboration that spans more than 20 years. In addition to our many joint clients, Unisys runs its business using Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications, Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, PeopleSoft HR, and Hyperion on Oracle databases. We have years of experience running Oracle in a global, business-critical environment. We know how to maximize business returns while minimizing costs.
• Real-Time Infrastructure, Enterprise Security, and Open Source – Unisys core competency in building solutions with real-time capability for secure business operations is essential to working with Oracle’s product portfolio to obtain long-term success. Unisys Open Source helps clients leverage open-source Oracle projects, including: Oracle Enterprise Linux, PHP, Apache, Berkeley DB, Eclipse, and InnoDB. We also offer other Open Source offerings, when needed. 
• Knowledge Mining and Abstraction (KMA) Tools – Unisys KMA tools help protect previous application investments by extracting business rules from legacy code. This code is reused with the forward-engineered, SOA-based infrastructure that incorporates Oracle Fusion Middleware and application components.
• Open-Standards-Based Architecture – Unisys thought leaders help develop standards through contributions to the Object Management Group (OMG) and other standards bodies. We thoroughly understand SOA and can make an Oracle “hot-pluggable” vision a reality.
• Outsourcing – IT Outsourcing (ITO), Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO), and infrastructure-managed services are the third-party complements to Oracle's On Demand services. Read the recent announcement about Gartner listing Unisys in the “Leaders Quadrant” for data center outsourcing.
• Enterprise Server Technology – Unisys ES7000/one Intel-based servers with EMC storage are among the first to be validated by Oracle with Oracle Enterprise Linux and Real Application Clusters. Validated configurations with Unisys servers offer unparalleled availability and rapid, low-risk deployment. They also offer the flexibility to scale up or out, meeting workload requirements at a low cost.
• Global Reach – Unisys global support and services make us a preferred choice to clients worldwide.
• Cost-sensitive Planning – Unisys and Oracle can show how replacing a high-cost legacy infrastructure is the first step to application and business modernization. We will transform an IT organization from a cost center to a business value center.
