Alliance with Unisys

Australian knowledge and process management software developer, Objective Corporation (ASX:OCL) has formalised an alliance with Unisys Australia that will see the two companies combine their respective resources and areas of expertise to offer broader solutions to the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Under the terms of the agreement, Objective's specialised knowledge and process management software and expertise will form a strategic component of the Unisys e-business solutions portfolio. Unisys will bring its systems integration and vertical market expertise and presence to the alliance.

Unisys sees application for Objective's solutions, in both the public and commercial sectors in Australia and New Zealand, where managing large volumes of electronic information, paper-based records and the surrounding business processes are essential to operational
effectiveness.

"As governments and commercial enterprises continue to embrace online strategies, it is extremely important for them to review their information management practices, to improve productivity and accountability and to provide more accessible services for customers, employees and citizens," said Tony Walls, CEO Asia Pacific, Objective
Corporation. "The combination of Objective's knowledge and process management solutions with Unisys e-business solutions means governments and commercial enterprises can now make the transition into the online world more efficiently and securely."

Allen Koehn, General Manager Public Sector, Unisys South Pacific, commented: "The alliance is already working for both companies, in that we have proposals before organisations in both Australia and New Zealand. And our expectation and hope for the alliance is that it will expand the knowledge management solutions available to
government in particular."

Unisys and Objective have already worked together successfully in Australia, to supply the Corporate Records Management Objective Plus 2000 Software and associated services for a pilot project with the Queensland Police Service. Unisys is the prime contractor for the
delivery of this project, which will see the system customised to meet legislative responsibilities. This will enable a corporate view of records and the development of appropriate business rules to take advantage of the Objective software. The two companies are currently working together on contract bids on both sides of the Tasman.
