Tech to the Rescue: UDT’s New Hub
Known for its quiet neighborhoods, good barbecue, and access to Lake Murray, Irmo isn’t exactly the kind of place you’d expect to find a high-tech operations center humming with tens of thousands of devices…but that’s starting to change!
United Data Technologies (UDT), a Florida-based IT solutions company, has officially set up a new integration and repair facility in Irmo—and it’s a big deal. Designed to process up to 30,000 devices a month, the center helps schools, government agencies, and businesses across the Southeast manage their tech fleets more efficiently. Whether it’s a cracked screen, a wiped drive, or a full system rollout, this new hub can handle it!
So what’s actually happening inside this sleek new facility? Think of it as a tech pit crew for the digital age. The new Columbia Integration and Repair Center will offer full-service solutions like:
- Device repair and refurbishment
- Imaging, asset tagging, and system prep
- Secure storage and logistics
- E-waste recycling and compliance
In other words, they’re not just fixing things—they’re optimizing how organizations manage, maintain, and extend the life of their technology investments.
South Carolina’s central location and growing business infrastructure made Irmo a smart choice for UDT. Employment for tech workers in South Carolina has grown 24.2% since 2019, and the state’s tech industry alone supports over 143,000 jobs and generates $13.8 billion in labor income.
The new hub will only increase this growth, adding skilled jobs to the Midlands, strengthening regional supply chains, and bringing faster turnaround times to clients across the Southeast. It will also act as a safeguard for UDT’s national operations, offering backup capacity when other regions are stretched thin.
The bottom line? UDT’s arrival signals something bigger for South Carolina: a state once known mostly for manufacturing and agriculture is becoming a serious player in the high-tech services game. And it’s only just getting started.
