GDC

What GDC does

GDC IT Solutions (legal entity: Global Data Consultants, LLC) is a 100% employee-owned managed IT services provider founded in 1995 and headquartered in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The company delivers end-to-end IT services through a 100% U.S.-based team across six core pillars: Managed IT Services, IT Service Desk (24/7 ITIL-aligned), Application Development and Support, Networking and Infrastructure, Hardware Sales and Deployment, and Workforce Staffing Solutions. Adjacent capabilities include cloud services across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, security threat management (Sophos Gold, Arctic Wolf, Barracuda, Veeam), business continuity and disaster recovery, voice and unified communications (3CX, Microsoft Teams), and emerging AI-enabled offerings such as Salesforce Agentforce. GDC serves small and medium businesses, mid-market and enterprise organizations (logos include Oshkosh Corporation, Kubota Manufacturing of America, JLG Equipment Services, NVA), and government and education segments (e.g., York County, Mishicot School District).

The business model is hybrid: recurring subscription revenue from managed IT contracts (flat monthly fees or per-device pricing), pass-through hardware sales disclosed at $45M annually, professional services revenue from application development and IT staffing, and partner-sourced revenue through Dell Platinum, Lenovo Platinum, Cisco Partner Integrator, Microsoft Solutions Partner, and 60+ additional vendor relationships. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market and SMB, and partner co-sell. The company operates four offices (Chambersburg PA, Mechanicsburg PA, Kaukauna WI, Cascade WI) anchored on the I-81 corridor, with a 20,000 sq ft secure depot staging up to 10,000 systems for hardware deployment projects. GDC has pursued an active roll-up strategy, completing four asset acquisitions between September 2023 and April 2026 (CSB Technology Partners, Intrac Technology, Prismworks Technology, and Global Help Desk Services) under dedicated M&A leadership.
