Fordham Park, New Jersey-based business process services company Conduent Inc. has opened its new IT operations “Command Center” in Sandy. Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox joined Conduent CEO Cliff Skelton and Mark Prout, the company’s global head of technology and operations, for a recent virtually opening and video tour of the facility.

The new 5,700-square-foot facility, which will be operated by 80 new employees, provides proactive, real-time monitoring of applications and service performance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Conduent said. The center will service Conduent’s global clients in the healthcare, retail, travel and transportation, insurance and financial services sectors, as well as government agencies.

“As a center for growth in the technology field with an ever-growing economy and global influence, Utah is an ideal location for Conduent as a world leader in its field,” said Cox. “Conduent’s selection of Sandy to establish its new Command Center is evidence of why we are all proud to call Utah home. We are excited for this latest example of our long and successful partnership with Conduent and the impact it will have on our state and economy — not only for the quality jobs it brings to our technology sector, but also for the elevation of Utah’s place in the world market that their presence here brings.”

Founded in 2017, Conduent has more than 60,000 employees worldwide, including 400 already working in Utah.
