Telecommunications
Today companies are building regional and national customer care centers to better satisfy their customers' needs for information and service. You may not first think of Central Arkansas as a hub for technology and telecommunications, but with major national companies such as Verizon, AT&T, and Acxiom based here, perhaps you should.
The Metro Little Rock region has a robust and diverse economy, highly educated workforce, one of America's lowest per capita tax structures, and many fiber-optic ready commercial sites making it ideal for technology and telecommunications intensive companies to locate here.
Companies like Pinnacle Business Solutions, a division of Arkansas Blue Cross/Blue Shield; Cardinal Health, HP, AT&T, and Fidelity National Information Services all have major national or regional call centers in the Metro Little Rock Region. They know that this is the place for technology businesses that rely on having reliable, high quality telecommunications infrastructures to support mission critical operations.
