Travelers and Freight
Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection awards Unisys contract for managed end-user computing and
infrastructure support services
SYDNEY and BLUE BELL, Pa., October 18, 2017 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has signed a three-year contract for managed end-user computing and infrastructure support services for DIBP
staff globally. The deal has a potential value of up to AU$77.7 million (approximately US$60.4 million).
Under the contract extension, Unisys will continue to provide managed service desk and end-user computing services to
DIBP through June 2021. The contract includes 24x7, first level service desk support for all immigration systems and
infrastructure support for the Department’s mid-range equipment.
“International airlines, freight companies and travel agents all need to interact with DIPB’s immigration systems, and
the combination of Unisys’ domain knowledge, technology and experience delivers the seamless electronic process they
expect. Effective communication between these systems is critical to allow the Australian Government to check and manage
who and what is coming into Australia in a timely manner, while preventing unnecessary delays to legitimate people or
cargo entering the country,” said Lysandra Schmutter, vice president, Public Sector, Unisys Asia Pacific.
Mark Forman, global head of Public Sector business at Unisys, said, “Australia is a global leader in the use of
technology to secure a country's borders. Border security technology is evolving rapidly and that technology must be
maintained at a high level of reliability to ensure availability around the clock – to protect the border while
facilitating international trade. We continue to build the global expertise needed and are proud to have been chosen to
continue our support of DIBP.”
