It always looked a forlorn move when ravaged hardware manufacturers tried to turn their hand to systems integration, and one of the noisiest entrants into the field, Unisys Corp, has already decided to disband its systems integration unit next month, only a year after forming it. The company says that it will continue to offer integration and facilities management but the support services division is going back into the Government Systems Division in McLean, Virginia, while the commercial side of the Systems Management Group will be folded into the Customer Technical Services Group in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.The decision to disband the unit will lead to a major shake-up, with some 1,700 employees to be reassigned under the new arrangements.
