Who We Are
MCA (short for Mike Collins & Associates) was founded in 1987 by Mike & Karen Collins. In the beginning, the entire company was just two people selling IT hardware. In the years since, we’ve grown to over 95 employees with offices in Chattanooga, Nashville and Knoxville. Today, we provide network management, cloud services, cybersecurity, data backup, locally staffed 24/7/365 help desk services, and both on-site and off-site IT support. All of that while remaining a leader in hardware sales, service and support.
The unique driving force behind the success of MCA is our commitment to a high ethical standard, maintaining integrity in everything we do. We even have our own cloud hosting data center to ensure the highest possible service levels. We believe the only way to achieve meaningful partnership is to root ourselves firmly in our own values, treating each and every client with respect and genuine commitment.
