Recognizing the State’s desire to migrate the ASSIST functionality to the new Bridges application the pricing in this proposal offers three (3) options for the State’s consideration; Option (1) month to month pricing, Option (2) 12 month license, and Option (3) 18 month license. The longer the extension, the lower the average monthly fee. The State, via the three options, can determine which option best meets its future needs. Please note there are some one-time-charges included in all three options. When comparing options please bear in mind the one-time-charges will be paid up front in month one even for the month to month option. This proposal and pricing is valid for 90 days. After 90 days, a new proposal may be necessary. In order to clarify the standard terms and conditions regarding invoicing as stated in contract 071B5000692, Unisys requests the right to invoice the State upon receipt of the State’s purchase order. The Phase I and Phase II PARE are not applicable to the State’s order since this is an extension of the right to use licenses for Software already in use by the State. These clarifications will in no way modify the State’s contractual terms regarding payment terms as stated in contract 071B5000692. This proposal is submitted for your consideration under the terms and conditions of contract 071B5000692. Your acceptance of this proposal through a purchase order to Unisys referencing the of this proposal and the option you have chosen shall constitute the only legally binding commitment of the parties. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this proposal. Sincerely, Jeffrey J.

  • Creativity – Success – Obscurity
    Author Gerry Pickering CREATIVITY – SUCCESS – OBSCURITY UNIVAC, WHAT HAPPENED? A fellow retiree posed the question of what happened. How did the company that invented the computer snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? The question piqued my interest, thus I tried to draw on my 32 years of experiences in the company and the myriad of information available on the Internet to answer the question for myself and hopefully others that may still be interested 60+ years after the invention and delivery of the first computers. Computers plural, as there were more than one computer and more than one organization from which UNIVAC descended. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, located in Philadelphia PA are credited with inventing the first general purpose computer under a contract with the U.S. Army. But our heritage also traces back to a second group of people in St. Paul MN who developed several computers about the same time under contract with the U.S. Navy. This is the story of how these two companies started separately, merged to become one company, how that merged company named UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computers) grew to become a main rival of IBM (International Business Machines), then how UNIVAC was swallowed by another company to end up in near obscurity compared to IBM and a changing industry. Admittedly it is a biased story, as I observed the industry from my perspective as an employee of UNIVAC. It is also biased in that I personally observed only a fraction of the events as they unfolded within UNIVAC. This story concludes with a detailed account of my work assignments within UNIVAC.

  • CISER: Cornell Researchers Team Itanium® 2-Based Unisys ES7000* Server with SAS* 9 and Windows* Server 2003 to Boost Performance and Streamline Data Center
    Intel® Business Center Case Study Business Intelligence CISER CISER: Cornell Researchers Team Itanium® 2-Based Unisys ES7000* Server with SAS* 9 and Windows* Server 2003 to Boost Performance and Streamline Data Center SOLUTION SUMMARY Challenge The Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER) urgently needed to boost performance for processing- and memory-intensive SAS* applications. CISER needed to acquire the resources to run 64-bit SAS 9 when it became available for the Windows* Server 2003 operating system. Yet, more than 600 researchers still needed broad-ranging 32-bit support. CISER needed to find an economical way to manage both 64-bit and 32-bit user communities demanding more power. Solution Rather than continue to add 2- and 4-way servers, CISER decided to purchase a Unisys ES7000* Enterprise Server containing eight Intel® Itanium® 2 processors and 16 Intel Xeon™ processors MP. This mainframe-class machine provides tremendous processor and memory scalability in the familiar Windows environment. CISER will be able to host 32-bit and 64-bit applications in the same system while consolidating its server holdings from 12 to 1. Business value By moving to the Unisys ES7000, CISER will boost the performance of some particularly demanding SAS applications by as much as 70 percent. The additional processing power allows researchers to crunch through demanding data analyses much faster than before and to work with much larger data sets to answer questions they couldn’t even ask before. Faster answers lead to more work accomplished in a given grant period and an improved chance of renewing grant funding.
