Unisys Chooses P-Relay to Optimize its Staffing Needs Contact: Joe Stabilito, Unisys New York, NY - Unisys,the fifth largest seller of computers and data services, has chosen P-Relay to streamline and improve efficiencies in the management of full time and temporary contract labor. Unisys has always been a pioneer in its field, and has always played a leading role in the development of the Internet but handling an extensive network has not been an easy task..As Joe Stabilito, manager for procurement of contract services says:” Some of the critical issues we faced were problems getting the right people, tracking their timesheets and billing inaccuracies.” To solve its daily day to day problems Unisys made a decision to implement an e-procurement solution. However, with an ERP system already in place, there were worries about interfacing, and possible differences in business processes. As Joe remembers, “ We were very clear that we wanted a web-based solution, but not at the cost of discarding our expensive ERP installation.” With several months of investigation, twenty-five vendors were invited to demonstrate their solutions at Unisys’s headquarters in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Finally it was narrowed down to three companies who were made to undergo a thorough evaluation, Prelay rose to the top “says Ian Paisley, Cornerstone UNISYS Corporation”; But Unisys still wasn’t satisfied. A 10-day conference room pilot, attended by key Unisys personnel from around the world followed. “We made them go through every possible scenario, and tested every bit of their functionality. They were incredible! and have a solid approach in providing the solution" says Ian Paisley, Cornerstone UNISYS Corporation.” We are extremely happy to be chosen by Unisys to be their e-procurement solution of choice and what makes us even happier is that we won the contract at the end of such a rigorous process of selection.
