The Open Source Solutions Business Benefits

• Reducing IT Costs: We help our clients reduce the cost of IT by migrating from more costly operating systems, applications, middleware and databases to an open source alternative.  We also help clients consolidate existing resources by introducing servers optimized for open source operating systems, databases, and so forth. And, we give them the power to scale performance to meet fluctuating business demands.
• Speeding implementation: Open source enables speedy application development and deployment.  Unisys helps clients capitalize on that benefit not only by creating infrastructures that can run the software but also by quickly developing our own applications and middleware to address pressing business issues. For example, we’ve created Web components that stop hackers from infiltrating valuable database, as well as modules that improve specific industry operations such as passenger processing and phone messaging.     
• Offering Freedom of Choice: The benefits of open technologies such as open source really boil down to one key advantage: freedom of choice.  When you have options, you are not locked into any one vendor’s products or services. That moves control from the vendor to the client.  Unisys is the only service provider with the credentials to be an open source partner and no proprietary components of the stack to protect.  We are completely solution agnostic and offer choices at every layer based on each of our client’s current investments and future goals.
