Unisys is currently concentrating on business opportunities in fewer, more profitable markets in the information technology (IT) market place. To drive future growth, Unisys is focusing its resources and investments in four targeted, high potential market areas, including security (IT security and physical security); data center transformation and outsourcing services; end-user outsourcing and support services; and applications modernization and outsourcing services. The company has secured quite a few contracts in these segments recently that should propel the top line.
The company, however, should not become complacent with its contract win spree as it faces stiff competition largely from proactive companies including Infosys Ltd. (INFY), Acxiom Corporation (ACXM) and Amdocs Limited (DOX). Amdocs recently introduced its latest Amdocs Product Lifecycle Management solution. The newly launched services will be used for managing the internal workflow systems for any service provider. Hence, Unisys has to focus on continuously developing its entire business, which may turn out to be expensive.
