Unisys Announces Realignment, Focusing Organization on Customer Needs; Names Top Management Team

Blue Bell, PA, November 18, 1999 -- Unisys Corporation today announced a new initiative to focus worldwide sales and services on delivering a wide array of targeted Unisys e-@ction Solutions. This initiative, the culmination of a two-year effort, will enhance the way the company serves its customers and capitalizes on the market opportunities presented by the acceleration of electronic business.

The "three businesses/one holding company" model is being replaced with a networked structure driven by the needs of customers in key industry market sectors, centered on broad portfolios of Unisys capabilities and coordinated close to customers in geographic markets around the world. This new alignment is effective immediately and will be fully implemented by year-end.

"We talked to our customers, and they told us they're not just interested in discrete products, but in how we can help them solve their business problems," said Lawrence A. Weinbach, Unisys chairman and CEO. "This realignment is a direct response to our customers.

"Its purpose is to create an integrated sales and delivery capability on a global basis, with faster decision-making closer to the customer. We will deliver the comprehensive portfolio of Unisys e-@ction Solutions via whatever channels customers prefer to make it easier to do business with us. And customers will have a single point of accountability to make it easier to gain access to Unisys vertical-industry expertise and core competencies in enterprise-class services, solutions and technologies."

Management Team Blends New Skills, Recognized Expertise

Unisys e-@ction Solutions will be brought to market by an interdependent team of senior executives reporting directly to Weinbach:

Barbara A. Babcock, e-Business. Babcock continues to lead Unisys electronic business group, a role she assumed in January 1999. Babcock joined Unisys from Ameritech in 1994.
Jack A. Blaine, Worldwide Sales and Services. Previously president, Unisys Pacific Asia Americas Africa group, Blaine has been with Unisys since 1983.
Robert D. Evans, Global Outsourcing. Evans, who joined Unisys in 1995 from Computer Sciences Corporation, was previously vice president and general manager, Unisys Outsourcing North America.
George R. Gazerwitz, Systems and Technology. Gazerwitz, who was previously president, Unisys Computer Systems, continues to lead the company's technology business. He has been with Unisys since 1981.
Joseph W. McGrath, Global Industries. McGrath joined Unisys in January 1999 from Xerox Corporation as senior vice president, Major Accounts Sales and chief marketing officer.
Janet B. Wallace, Global Network Services. Wallace is new to Unisys, joining the company from Compaq Computer Corporation, where she was vice president, Services Marketing and Sales. Prior to joining Compaq, she held a range of senior positions in worldwide customer services and solutions marketing at Digital Equipment Corporation.

Unisys current staff groups will continue to report directly to the chairman and manage company-wide functions and infrastructure. An executive to head Corporate Marketing will be named in the future.

"I chose this management team because collectively these executives possess an ideal combination of skills required to be successful in the next millennium," said Weinbach. "I am confident that, working together with our highly motivated employees, we can forge even stronger links to our customers and achieve growth goals that benefit all Unisys stakeholders."

New Alignment Caps Fact-based Study of Customer Needs

This initiative represents the culmination of a two-year project dedicated to examining and improving the ways Unisys deploys resources to serve its customers. It extends an effort that was started late in 1997 with visits by Weinbach to major customers around the world. That led in April 1998 to the appointment of single points of interface for the company's 200 largest clients in North America and Europe.

The most recent phase of the effort was an intensive, seven-month study of Unisys go-to-market approach conducted by a task force under McGrath's direction. The initiative included interviews with 750 current and potential clients and 1,200 Unisys sales representatives in the field, as well as consultation with leading industrial thinkers. "Our research told us that customers value a single point of accountability, as well as solutions, services and support based on an intimate understanding of their business and the ability to choose from multiple channels to access Unisys solutions," said McGrath. This single point of accountability, which has resulted in double-digit revenue increases from the 200 largest clients since 1998, is being expanded worldwide and is expected to improve customer service and enhance opportunities for profitable growth.

New Business Structure Mirrors, Addresses Critical Customer Needs

The realignment organizes Unisys capabilities as follows:

e-Business will ensure the uniform creation and deployment of multifaceted Unisys e-@ction Solutions comprising products and services that address such enterprise requirements as e-Business transformation.
Global Industries will develop and bring to market solutions based on in-depth knowledge of customer and market requirements for the financial services, transportation, communications, publishing, commercial and cross-industry sectors, as well as federal government and other public sector customers. Unisys U.S. Federal Systems, which delivers Unisys full portfolio of solutions to that market, will be an integrated unit within Global Industries.
Global Outsourcing will focus on data center and business process outsourcing, as well as application services provider (ASP) activities.
Global Network Services will focus on network and desktop management services critical to building and maintaining the infrastructure of electronic business. Global Network Services will also provide maintenance services for both Unisys and multivendor equipment.
Systems and Technology will develop enterprise-class hardware and software systems based on Unisys core technologies and those from key industry partners. This organization will also spearhead product research and development.
Worldwide Sales and Services, the primary sales and customer-facing organization, has responsibility for selling and delivering the portfolio of Unisys e-@ction Solutions to customers around the world.

"We have established a structure that empowers Unisys people to develop and deliver a complete portfolio comprising all the elements to directly address customers' most critical enterprise IT requirements more quickly and efficiently than ever before," Weinbach said. "In essence, this new alignment enables us to carry out our e-Business strategy, which we announced last month, to effectively deliver the portfolio of Unisys e-@ction Solutions. Today we have laid the foundation for a Unisys that is poised to accelerate both the creation of customer value and profitable revenue growth."
