UDI is a pretty comprehensive set of Wizard pages that run *during* a SCCM Task Sequence. My view is that it provides some "Self Service" features to an OS deployment within SCCM. However if you have a well-defined (fully automated) environment, sticking with SCCM+ZTI should be fine.

My comprehension is this: * We have an SCCM 2012 environment * We have deployed a fully automated task sequence to all of our Windows machines (VM, Laptop, Desktop, etc) * The user can click to reimage their PC whenever they like in SW Center, but the only prompt is to confirm they want to "install operating system" I believe that this is "User Driven" am i right? or wrong? or is it a grey area?

And it works only in conjunction with ConfigMgr, so you need that too. Lite Touch is also part of MDT, designed to be used without ConfigMgr. It provides its own wizard framework.
