Encore Technology Solutions
2024 Arkansas Business of the Year // Category I (1-30 Employees) North Little Rock
Founded in 2020 with only three employees, Encore Technology Solutions is now one of the leading technology integration firms in the mid-South. With a team of 25 employees, Encore Technology Solutions has completed thousands of projects in eight states across the region.
The company specializes in the installation and service of integrated solutions, including emergency communication, video surveillance and structured cabling.
Established during the COVID-19 pandemic, its founders realized a market need for a technology integration firm that could offer a full suite of low-voltage solutions that would ensure clients had a single point of contact and accountability.
There also was a need for a technical team of people who could scale from residential services to commercial construction sites without client disruptions.
Because Encore Technology Solutions offers a full suite of technology services, the company is often the sole source of life safety and technology needs for its clients.
