Unisys, Dell, Microsoft to create voting system-WSJ
NEW YORK, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Unisys Corp (NYSE:UIS - news) is planning to team up with Dell Computer Corp (NasdaqNM:DELL - news) and Microsoft Corp (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) to create a new voting system in the wake of this year's ballot-counting fiasco, the Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition Thursday.
Unisys, which plans to announce the deal on Thursday, said it is going to be the systems integrator in the development, coordinating technology from voter registration to result reporting, the paper said.
``We are going to market with a solution that can deal with the whole process,'' the paper quoted Lawrence Weinbach, Unisys' chief executive, as saying. Dell will supply the computers and Microsoft will provide the software, the Journal reported.
The voting-system business could prove lucrative, as some state lawmakers have proposed budgeting hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade state systems, the paper said.
Unisys shares closed up 7/16 at $15-3/16 in Wednesday trading on the New York Stock Exchange, while shares of Dell finished up $1-9/16 at $21-5/16 in Nasdaq trading. Microsoft shares closed up $1-1/16 at $52-7/8. |
