Our Journey with Businesses

Founded in 1987 in High Point, NC, Preferred Data Corporation (PDC) recognized early on the critical role technology would play in business. As businesses increasingly adopted computer systems, we focused on providing specialized IT consulting, particularly for manufacturers who were early adopters.

Over 39 years, we haven't just kept pace with technology; we've anticipated the evolving needs of various business sectors, with continued deep focus on manufacturing. This led to the development of our proprietary PDC software suite, designed to streamline core business processes, drawing from our deep experience in manufacturing, from quoting and sales to accounting and operations.

This deep focus and dedication have fostered exceptional loyalty. Our clients stay with us for an average of over 20 years, a testament to the trust we build and the tangible value we deliver as a true technology partner, not just a provider.
