BLUE BELL, Pa., June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced it has been recognized by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as one of its first partners to achieve AWS Government Competency, a new component of the AWS Competency Program which highlights companies demonstrating technical proficiency and success in delivering specialized cloud-based solutions on AWS to customers.
