Unisys and Wang enter strategic relationship.

BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 1995--Unisys Corp. and Wang Monday announced that the two companies have entered into a strategic relationship that will bring leading-edge Windows NT imaging technology to a wider market.

Unisys has been a long-time strategic development and marketing ally of Sigma Imaging Systems, which Wang last week announced it will acquire. Unisys and Wang are continuing and expanding that strategic relationship.

"Wang's acquisition of Sigma is good news for Unisys and its clients," said Richard C. Goyette, vice president of the Unisys InfoImage Folder group. "Our new and expanding relationship with Wang fits well with our strategy to deliver the best imaging technology and services required to solve our clients' business needs.

"Wang has tremendous depth in imaging software research and development. Unisys will also be able to leverage the results of Wang's strategic alliance with Microsoft as they are incorporated into Wang's new Windows NT imaging product line."

"Unisys is the one of the leading technology integrators and service providers in the market today," said Donald P. Casey, president of Wang. "Unisys strong skills in integration and service, along with its worldwide coverage and its focus on key industries, fully complements Wang's focus on working with third-party solution providers and systems integrators to bring Wang imaging and workflow software technology to market."

Unisys focus in imaging and workflow is on creating a complete business solution, one that encompasses all the core hardware and software, consulting, requirements definition, system design, integration and implementation services and any supporting application software required for a specific industry.

Selecting the right technology, architecture, service offerings and partnerships is paramount to delivering value to Unisys clients.

The Sigma technology was chosen by Unisys for its unique ability to address the requirements of high-volume, mission-critical imaging applications. The patented Sigma architecture takes full advantage of the Microsoft Windows NT operating system and Microsoft BackOffice technology suite.

Wang's selection of the Sigma technology as the basis for its thrust into the Windows NT imaging software marketplace fully endorses Unisys investment in the technology.

The technology and products acquired from Sigma will enable Wang to benefit immediately from the revenue growth opportunities made possible by its alliance with Microsoft.

Wang was recently designated Microsoft's preferred vendor of imaging and workflow software, and Wang imaging technology will be incorporated as standard desktop features in future releases of Windows 95 and Windows NT. Through its relationship with Wang, Unisys will have a lead in working with a pervasive imaging and workflow technology that will be available to millions of users.

As an information management company, Unisys acts as a solutions and systems integrator for business and government, complementing those integration skills with a full range of consulting and implementation services, information technology and vertical industry expertise.

The company's perspective extends beyond supplying technology to delivering comprehensive information management solutions. Further information is available through the Unisys home page on the World Wide Web: http://www.unisys.com
