Join CSU IT leadership for this presentation and interactive panel discussion as they recount their transformative journey and the rapid realization of value through Unisys Cloud Services and Cloud Security Solutions, resulting in:

Millions in cost savings and cost avoidance; 
Significant operational efficiencies, creating a more agile, efficient, and on-demand IT environment; and
Enhanced data access, data delivery, and data integration capabilities that significantly boost student outcomes.
