UDS Technology

UDS Technology is a Brazilian software development company founded in 2003 and based in Brazil with offices in the United States (Orlando, Florida) and Portugal. The company operates across more than 30 countries and claims to be the fastest-growing Brazilian tech company in the Americas, according to Financial Times. Their client roster includes some of the world's largest organizations: the UN, DHL, Samsung, the Red Cross, Yamaha, Siemens, and others spanning logistics, finance, manufacturing, retail, and humanitarian sectors.

UDS positions itself around three core capabilities: software development, cloud services, and staffing. The company's NPS is 9.2, and they note that clients can be hired within specific timeframes—IT staffing in 48 hours, or full Agile teams deployed in 5 to 10 days.

Services and capabilities

The company offers software development across web and mobile platforms, with stated focus on user experience and custom architecture. Their web development work is described as compliant to business rules and able to scale. App development emphasizes dynamic applications with UX/UI focus.

Cloud Services covers the full lifecycle: assessment, proof of concept, on-premises-to-cloud migration, multi-cloud migrations, ongoing environment management (both simple and complex), incident response, and optimization. They manage costs, implement CI/CD pipelines, and design serverless and elastic architectures. One case study mentions reducing cloud costs "in the order of 60 times per million requests" for DIRECTV GO. They work cloud-agnostic across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle.

Staffing services include IT Staffing (hiring within 48 hours) and IT Outsourcing (teams deployed in 5–10 days). One case study shows they hired developers for TOTVS to upgrade from monolithic to microservices architecture; another describes onboarding specialized engineers for Yamaha within 10 days when their desired tech stack differed from existing internal capabilities.

They also mention "Technology for Bets," though details are sparse in the source.

How they work

Engagement spans fixed-scope projects, dedicated team augmentation, and staff augmentation. They frame themselves as partners rather than vendors—quotes from clients (Calvin Klein's Commercial Manager, Restoque's Innovation Director, Mtrix President) emphasize co-creation, trust-based relationships, and exceeding expectations. They deploy multidisciplinary squads that embed into client culture. Pricing details are not disclosed on the public site; proposal requests are quoted on demand. Communication and collaboration are core—they emphasize transparency and self-governance to avoid red tape.
