Unisys (NYSE: UIS) has announced a partnership with Antenna, an AI-powered development observability platform, to embed third-party benchmarks into Unisys applications, solutions and services.

The collaboration integrates Antenna's observability platform into Unisys' Application Development and Transformation and Application Managed Services engagements. The partnership is also designed to complement Unisys' existing Intelligence Accelerator AI framework.

According to the companies, many organizations currently rely on subjective or self-reported metrics to assess AI performance. The partnership aims to provide a system-level view of engineering performance across workflows, drawing on aggregated data from thousands of organizations and hundreds of thousands of developers.

The arrangement is intended to help clients measure productivity, optimize token usage and identify delivery constraints. The shift toward token-based pricing models in AI tools has increased demand for quantifiable return-on-investment metrics.

"Our partnership with Antenna helps clients bring greater transparency and evidence-based accountability to AI-driven development, moving them from AI promises to measurable outcomes and enabling more-informed decisions and stronger delivery outcomes," said Manju Naglapur, senior vice president and general manager of Cloud, Applications & Infrastructure at Unisys.

Jedidiah Yueh, founder and chief executive officer of Antenna, said the partnership provides "a data-driven approach to accelerate and optimize the AI transformation of software development."
