One company is planning to shut down its local office and cut hundreds of Austin tech jobs.

Unisys Corporation recently announced that it will close the company's Austin location and lay off 229 employees beginning in June. According to information the company filed with the Texas Workforce Commission, Unisys intends to shut down its Austin operations in phases, starting in June and ending in September.
