Anxious to build a big business in systems integration as quickly as possible now that hardware is increasingly becoming a commodity business, Unisys Corp has joined forces with the information technology consulting side of accountants Touche Ross & Co to offer large-scale commercial systems integration services: the two look to the combination of the Touche Ross strength in strategic information systems planning, the development and implementation of application systems, and the assessment of management and information system effectiveness with Unisys products and systems skills to create a winning team, with the more effective of the two being chosen as project leader on a case by case basis.
