UNISYS CLEARPATH FORWARD® SYSTEMS:

THE HEART OF YOUR DIGITAL BUSINESS

2

The world can’t help but talk about digital transformation, and for good reason. The act of infusing computing environments into every aspect of human life – whether it takes the form of a mobile banking app, dinner that’s ordered via a digital assistant, or something else entirely – is fertile ground for innovation and differentiation.

But how do you make it happen? What does it take to fully and effectively transform? Trust.

You need implicit, unending trust in the systems that make all these connections, integrations, and interactions possible.

You have to trust that they’ll perform optimally, even under the strain of hundreds of millions of daily transactions. You must rely on their ability to stay up, running, and available, even as the changing times introduce wildly different demands. And, above all else, you need the utmost confidence that they can safeguard the information that is so vital to your organization’s well-being.

With Unisys ClearPath Forward® systems, you have an environment you can trust to deliver the security, performance, and reliability that are so essential to success in our digital age.

THE DRIVE TO DIGITAL BEYOND BUSINESS-CRITICAL

There’s a reason why the ClearPath Forward environment is home to some of the world’s most demanding applications and workloads.

As a truly integrated stack – one where all components are designed, developed, and tested as a single unit – the environment is optimized from the inside out to deliver a scalable, available, high-performing computing experience.

With the help of this contemporary infrastructure, you can create new opportunities for simplification and cost control, while freeing your team to pursue innovative new projects that help the business excel.

Connect with systems and applications spread around the globe. Unify access to all of your business processes and data. Provide clients with stable, secure service. Handle hundreds of millions of transactions every day.

With the ClearPath Forward environment as the system of record at the core of your digital business, it’s all possible.

Here’s how…

UNPARALLELED SECURITY

It’s at the very heart of what defines a ClearPath Forward system. It’s infused throughout every level of the environment – architecture, hardware, firmware, software, middleware, and databases – giving you a multi-faceted means of avoiding the negative financial, reputation, and business impacts of a security incident.

With this intensive, holistic approach to security, you can run hundreds of business-critical applications under a single operating system instance, isolating each and preventing them from accessing one another’s data unless it’s been explicitly shared.

Leveraging the principle of least privilege, you’ll be empowered to protect against unauthorized data access and modification by permitting users to do only what’s required by their jobs, nothing more.

You’ll encrypt data in motion and at rest. And with robust auditing and recovery capabilities, you have the tools to detect accidental or malicious actions and apply sophisticated recovery techniques to counteract them.

This approach has proven so effective that the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Vulnerability Database shows no record of user data breaches in the ClearPath Forward environment.

But securing the environment against the threats of today doesn’t guarantee you’re protected against what might emerge tomorrow.

That’s why we’re constantly evaluating our approach, incorporating new standards, and commissioning external, unbiased reviews: Doing so empowers you to move your business forward with confidence.

There’s no security quite like ClearPath Forward security.

For instance, you can choose a business model that’s right for you. With our pay-for-use approaches, you’ll align costs with business needs, while maintaining the flexibility to tap into extra capacity as seasonal fluctuations dictate. Or, you can opt for a traditional licensing model with Capacity-on-Demand options that provide the agility needed to manage dynamically changing workloads.

With the tightly integrated ClearPath® MCP and ClearPath OS 2200 operating environments, you’ll increase agility by spending less time implementing changes and more helping the business innovate. And you won’t have to change your applications any time you upgrade to a new software level, either.

Likewise, with an innovative, model-driven development environment, you’ll be able to quickly build and release enterprise-class applications designed to capitalize on shifting business and IT expectations.

A FOCUS ON FLEXIBILITY

And you’ll have the freedom to deploy these applications on the virtualization, infrastructure, or cloud platform of your choice, helping you adapt to changing business needs and ensure the longevity of these critical assets.

By integrating the applications and data that comprise your core business processes – and leveraging web services to reuse these assets to serve a variety of ends – you’ll collapse silos and get more from your existing investments. Because you can automate these processes, along with those related to operations, management, and disaster recovery, you’ll move faster, while limiting the chances of human error and reducing your need for highly skilled resources.

Plus, with the help of scalable, multimode, enterprise-level rapid application development and information access capabilities, you’ll have the decision-support engine your organization needs to do more with – and get more from – its data.

When you use the ClearPath Forward environment, you’ll have the flexibility to mold it to fit your business and IT needs – not the other way around.

With a rich set of popular, industry-standard tools and technologies – as well as support for open source frameworks and solutions – you’re well equipped to take your business to the next level.

Using these tools, you’ll simplify and shorten the development process, enabling you to get new capabilities to market faster. You can automate processes within your applications, too, while allowing them to connect and interact with external processes, applications, data, and services through industry-standard interfaces. This way, you can create tightly integrated, distributed business processes and transactions that span multiple systems and environments.

COLLABORATION FOR A DIGITAL AGE

You’ll also have access to tools that help you modernize your applications and use mobile, web, and web services interfaces to extend them to a greater number of users, devices, and channels. And because you can automatically generate this code – rather than taking the time to program it – you’ll accelerate your modernization projects.

And you’ll be able to maintain and monitor performance – and automate operations and recoveries – helping you deliver the increased coverage and around-the-clock availability your digitally savvy clients expect.

Since you can do all this using commonly available, industry-standard skills, you’ll find it much easier to quickly answer new market demands, address emerging regulations, account for changing buying patterns, and drive more value to your business.

The ClearPath Forward environment is anything but closed. By any definition, it’s open and ready to help you successfully collaborate in today’s digital marketplace.
