Our custom service packages deliver what you need and want without overstepping the boundaries of your budget. From cloud services to data backup, Pinnacle IT is here to team up with you and your company for expert support.
Pinnacle IT was founded in 1992 in Arkansas as The Computer Hut, and after 30+ years of serving Arkansans and solving technological issues, the company has proven that its core value is service excellence.
Led by CEO Chris Bates, Pinnacle IT has deep capabilities in handling the cyber and data security challenges all companies face, with a special emphasis on the needs of health care organizations in maintaining HIPAA compliance. Headquartered in Little Rock, Pinnacle IT has more than 35 IT professionals with offices across the Natural State. In 2002, Pinnacle IT got its first big break when Metropolitan National Bank outsourced its IT to the small tech company. Metropolitan National Bank was Pinnacle IT’s largest client until the bank was acquired by Simmons. Pinnacle IT has been working at full steam ever since, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of technology services and working from home.
Bates is a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas with a BBA in Computer Information Systems. Bates is also the proud father of two boys and a dog. With constantly evolving technology and emerging security threats, it is essential for technologists to continually learn or get left behind.
