Three papers were awarded prizes and Unisys has also decided to offer them internship opportunities. Mr Bob Supnik, Vice-President, Engineering and Supply Chain, Unisys Technology, Consulting and Integration Solutions, said, “The winning papers present fresh ideas and perspectives that can make major contributions to advance cloud computing.

This makes cloud computing a key area of focus for India's talent pool.”
