Under the terms of the 56-month change order, Unisys will work with Pennsylvania to revamp the current CCHRI infrastructure to accelerate the flow of vital police information between law enforcement jurisdictions. The solution is also designed to reduce operational costs by seamlessly transitioning the state's system to a Unisys ES7000 standardized Intel-based environment with no service level disruptions. Unisys will manage the system as part of Pennsylvania's Data PowerHouse, from which Unisys provides IT outsourcing and technical support for the state.
"Having worked with Unisys for many years, we believe it is the ideal partner to help us transform the Pennsylvania State Police's criminal history system into a next generation law enforcement data center operation," said Dean Stefan, manager of Pennsylvania's Data PowerHouse initiative. "We believe the new system will enable the Commonwealth's law enforcement to more efficiently and effectively track, report and share vital information with other law enforcement organizations."
Under the agreement, Unisys will provide CCHRI application development and systems integration, four ES7000 servers, seven commodity servers and third-party software including Microsoft's MS SQL Server 2000 and MS BizTalk Server 2004. Unisys will also provide maintenance, network upgrades, asset management and technical and operations support.
