Unisys' history dates back to 1873 with [[E.

The new company's name was chosen from over 31,000 submissions in an internal competition when Christian Machen submitted the word "Unisys", which was composed of parts of the words "united", "information", and "systems".<ref>{{cite news|last=Sims|first=Calvin|title=Burroughs Announces New Company Name|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/11/business/burroughs-announces-new-company-name.html|access-date=March 10, 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=November 11, 1986}}</ref>

The merger was the largest in the computer industry at the time and made Unisys the second-largest computer company with annual revenue of $10.5 billion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=About Unisys|publisher=Unisys|url=https://www.unisys.com/aboutus/company-history}}</ref> [[W.

Unisys responded by making the strategic decision to shift into high-end servers, including [[32-bit]] processor [[Windows Server]]s and information technology (IT) services, such as systems integration, outsourcing, and related technical services, while holding onto the profitable revenue stream from maintaining its installed base of proprietary mainframe hardware and applications.<ref name=":13" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Pre-History of Unisys |url=http://www.computermuseum.li/Testpage/UNISYS-History.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905001915/http://www.computermuseum.li/Testpage/UNISYS-History.htm |archive-date=September 5, 2012 |access-date=November 6, 2017 |publisher=History of Computing}}</ref>

== Controversies ==
In 1987, Unisys was sued with [[Rockwell International|Rockwell Shuttle Operations Company]] for $5.2 million by two former employees of the Unisys Corporation, one a subcontractor responsible for the computer programs for the space shuttle.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/25/us/4-say-problems-in-space-shuttle-are-continuing.html|title=4 Say Problems In Space Shuttle Are Continuing|first=Peter |last=Applebome|work=The New York Times |date=25 September 1987 }}</ref> The suit filed by Sylvia Robins, a former Unisys engineer, and Ria Solomon, who worked for Robins, charges that the two were forced from their jobs and harassed after complaining about safety violations and inflated costs.

In 1998, Unisys Corporation agreed to pay the government $2.25 million to settle allegations that it supplied refurbished, rather than new, computer materials to several federal agencies in violation of the terms of its contract. Unisys admitted to supplying re-worked or refurbished computer components to various civilian and military agencies in the early 1990s, when the contract required the company to provide new equipment. The market price for the refurbished material was less than the price for new material which the government paid.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131230233123/http://www.contractormisconduct.org/ass/contractors/50/cases/257/171/doj-pr.pdf] Government Contract Fraud 12/03/1998 (Date of Settlement Announcement)</ref>

In 1998, Unisys was found guilty of price inflation and government contract fraud, with the company settling to avoid further prosecution.<ref>{{cite web |date=31 December 2013 |title=UNISYS, LOCKHEED MARTIN PAY U.S. $3.15 MILLION TO SETTLE DISPUTE ON INFLATED SPARE PARTS SALES |url=http://www.contractormisconduct.org/ass/contractors/50/cases/259/170/doj-pr.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131231001832/http://www.contractormisconduct.org/ass/contractors/50/cases/259/170/doj-pr.pdf |archive-date=31 December 2013}}</ref> [[Lockheed Martin]] and Unisys paid the government $3.15 million to settle allegations that Unisys inflated the prices of spare parts sold to the [[U.S. Department of Commerce]] for its NEXRAD Doppler Radar System, in violation of the [[False Claims Act]], 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/08/nyregion/armand-d-amato-found-guilty-of-fraud-in-a-lobbying-scheme.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm|title=Armand D'Amato Found Guilty Of Fraud in a Lobbying Scheme|first=Jonathan |last=Rabinovitz|work=The New York Times |date=8 May 1993 }}</ref>
