UDT Opens State-of-the-Art Integration & Repair Center in South Carolina to Serve the Southeast U.S.
In a significant move to enhance its service capabilities, UDT (United Data Technologies)—a national leader in managed services, enterprise IT, and telecommunication solutions—has announced the opening of a brand-new, state-of-the-art Integration and Repair Center in South Carolina. This facility, located in Irmo, is designed to serve the Southeast United States while adding critical capacity and redundancy for nationwide customer operations. The new center underscores UDT’s commitment to helping customers better manage and extend the lifecycle of their technology devices, including PCs, workplace tools, classroom technology, and more.
A Strategic Investment to Address Evolving Customer Needs
The Columbia Integration and Repair Center is part of a large-scale investment UDT is making to expand its Lifecycle Services program. These services are tailored to help organizations maximize user productivity, lower operational costs, and streamline device support. With the rise of remote learning and hybrid work models spurred by the pandemic, schools, businesses, and government entities now face unprecedented challenges in managing larger fleets of devices.
“When the pandemic hit, the way students learned and workers functioned changed forever,” said Henry Fleches, CEO of UDT. “Now, several years later, we’re seeing the long-term impact on school districts, colleges, universities, state and local governments, and commercial enterprises. Customers are grappling with managing substantially larger fleets of devices, repairing and refreshing them quickly, lowering costs, and ensuring minimal disruption to operations. The facility in South Carolina will play a pivotal role as we roll out our Lifecycle Services program nationwide to address these exact pain points.”
Capacity, Redundancy, and Local Impact
The new facility is equipped to process up to 30,000 devices per month, providing much-needed capacity to meet growing demand. Additionally, it serves as a redundant hub for UDT’s other integration and repair centers across the country, ensuring continuity in the event of unforeseen disruptions or spikes in demand. This dual functionality makes the center a strategic asset for UDT’s operations and its customers.
Set to become operational in early July, the facility has already garnered praise from local leaders. Tommy Carter, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer of Richland School District Two, expressed enthusiasm about the development. “We are thrilled this new, state-of-the-art integration and repair facility is coming online right here in South Carolina. It’s a game-changer not just for us but for the entire Southeast United States to have this kind of capacity so close by. This facility will empower schools, businesses, and government entities to better manage their technology needs while driving innovation and efficiency.”
Comprehensive Services to Maximize Technology Investments
The Columbia Integration and Repair Center will offer a wide range of services to support UDT’s customers, including:
- Device repairs: Ensuring quick turnaround times to minimize downtime for critical technology assets.
- New product imaging: Preparing devices with custom configurations to meet specific organizational requirements.
- Asset tagging and etching: Enhancing asset management and security through personalized identification.
- Secure storage: Providing climate-controlled, secure warehousing for customers’ products as needed.
These services are designed to help organizations optimize their technology investments by extending the lifecycle of devices, reducing costs, and improving operational efficiency. By centralizing these capabilities in a state-of-the-art facility, UDT is empowering customers to focus on their core missions without worrying about the complexities of device management.
A Commitment to Growth and Innovation
The decision to open the new facility in South Carolina reflects UDT’s deep commitment to the region and its confidence in the area’s potential for growth. “We are proud to make an investment of this size in South Carolina,” said Fleches. “Opening a new operations center here was a strategic decision that allows us to better serve customers in a part of the country where we are growing by leaps and bounds. Most importantly, it enables UDT to help customers get the most out of their technology investments.”
As UDT celebrates its 30th anniversary as a company, the opening of the Columbia Integration and Repair Center marks another milestone in its journey. Unlike many competitors that offer limited products or services, UDT provides a comprehensive suite of tailored technology solutions. From K-12 schools and higher education institutions to state and local governments and commercial enterprises, UDT has established itself as a trusted partner for organizations seeking innovative, end-to-end IT solutions.
