    Business Editors/Technology Editors

    BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2005--Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced an alliance with GlobeRanger, in which Unisys will incorporate GlobeRanger's iMotion(TM) Edgeware(TM) platform as a component in its Global Visible Commerce solutions.
    The Unisys solutions integrate emerging technologies -- such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags -- with a client's existing business processes to drive more efficient and secure supply chains. At the core of the new solutions is Unisys unique 3D Visible Enterprise (3D-VE) methodology, which gives companies a holistic view into the cause-and-effect relationships between shifts in technology, business processes and strategy.
    "GlobeRanger's iMotion platform plays an essential data and device management role in RFID, barcode and sensor-based solutions like ours," said Peter Regen, vice president of Global Visible Commerce Solutions at Unisys. "GlobeRanger's technology gives us the flexibility to rapidly develop and scale industrial strength offerings to meet the dynamic requirements of our customers."
    The Unisys solutions are designed to help both public and private sector clients increase the value of their supply chains by providing enhanced visibility in a near real-time environment. The solutions collect, filter and analyze data from a growing number of supply chain data feeds - such as RFID tags, cellular devices, and barcodes - and interface with existing legacy applications. The result for companies is a single view into their extended supply chains.
    "Unisys is providing a multi-dimensional approach for achieving global supply chain visibility and security," said John Koenigs, CEO of GlobeRanger. "We're proud to provide a key infrastructure technology in support of their Global Visible Commerce vision."
    Unisys solutions are built on more than 10 years of experience in RFID and track-and-trace work with business and government. They are tailored to meet the specific needs of government and companies in the life sciences, consumer products, retail and transportation industries.
