BLUE BELL, Pa. –(Business Wire)– Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced that it has received an extension to its IT outsourcing services contract with the City of Chicago. The extension has an estimated value of $72 million for the initial six-year term and an additional $12 million if the city exercises a one-year option.

Under the extension, Unisys will expand the range of IT outsourcing services it provides the city. The new services include managed services for the city’s Sun server infrastructure and modernization of its network operating environment.
