We use industry-leading assessment and development models to best understand your current state of technology and define what that should be in the future state.

In the process, we design and architect solutions to best meet your future business, technical and people requirements.
As technology strategists, we will help you:
- Shape your business needs into IT strategy and plans
- Define architectures that meet your current and future requirements with a multi-vendor approach
- Support collaboration and productivity, customer experience, networking, data center, end-user computing and security
DEPLOYMENT
From design to deployment, UDT is with you every step of the way. You can be confident in our ability to deliver the installation, configuration, integration, testing, and training components of the technology that you’ve purchased.
Since we strive to deliver end-to-end solutions, we rarely deploy a single technology. Rather, we design entire networks which serve as the backbone to deploy applications and software and ultimately, valuable content to end users.
We follow industry best practices and methodologies to ensure risk-free deployments. In doing so, we work closely with our clients to verify that your solutions are installed to your exact specifications. As part of this process, UDT receives and inventories hardware, equipment, and accessories to ensure that everything is properly configured. Our technicians then install systems, implement proper log-ons and credentialing, and test resources across the new networks.
IMPLEMENTATION
UDT’s implementation strategy employs a unique methodology, drawing from our extensive real-world experience and applying that to client needs. This ensures that the solution is right-sized and flexible for any of the client’s needs.
We drive value and ensure seamless outcomes by working in alignment with our clients, partners and our design and deployment teams. In doing so, we engage and drive consensus with multiple stakeholders to successfully implement integrated solutions.
INTEGRATION
We know that without full integration of your infrastructure, data, and applications you won’t reap the full benefit of your investment. We also recognize that every organization has unique criteria and needs. As such, our integration teams lead by certified engineers, along with our industry partners, follow proven protocols and identify creative ways to tie new infrastructure into existing workflows and applications to best serve end users.
STAFF AUGMENTATION
Deploying next-generation networks and infrastructure creates incredible business growth and value. But, these robust systems often require specific skill sets and knowhow to support and operate them. When clients lack the right skills and resources to manage these systems, they count on UDT’s staff augmentation solutions to fill in the gaps.
Our certified engineers and expert team members specialize in key functions and apply practical, real-world experience to their client engagements. From network engineers, to database administrators and project managers, we have the skills, talent and expertise to help you maximize your IT investments.
With our staff augmentation services:
- You maintain in-house ownership of your assets
- Flexible solutions that leverage specific skills-set you don’t have
- Delivered on an as-needed or project-basis
