About Lighthouse CIO
Chattanooga's IT Support for Small Business
When you started your business, you didn't sign up to become an IT expert. But in today's environment, technology touches everything, including your team, your clients, your security, and your bottom line. That's where Lighthouse CIO comes in.
We are a Chattanooga-based, boutique technology consultancy specializing in outsourced IT services, managed IT, and part-time CIO leadership for small businesses, nonprofits and startups. We exist for one reason: to make technology work the way your business works — without the complexity, the long-term contracts, or the hidden agendas that come with most IT Service companies.
We're Not Your Typical IT Company
Most IT firms make money by locking you into long-term contracts, reselling software subscriptions, and routing your calls through an out-of-town support center. We built Lighthouse CIO to be the opposite of that. We’re a small business ourselves, and we know how to support your business with our IT services right here in Chattanooga.
Here's what makes us different:
You talk to the experts — not a sales team. When you contact Lighthouse CIO, you're immediately connected with the experienced professionals who will actually be doing the work. There's no sales intermediary, no handoff, and no gap between the person who made the pitch and the person delivering the solution. What you see is what you get.
Right-sized solutions, no lock-in. We don't believe in selling you services you don't need or tying you to contracts that outlive their usefulness. Our engagements are flexible by design. We can scale up when you need more support and step back when you don't. Most of our agreements start with just a three-month contract.
Truly local. Genuinely personal. We're based right here in Chattanooga. When you need IT support, you'll hear a familiar voice from someone who knows your business, your goals, and your team, not a ticketing system routing your request to a call center across the country.
Zero vendor bias. We don't resell platforms or represent any technology vendor. Our only incentive is finding what's actually best for your business. That's a promise most IT companies simply can't make.
We start by saving you money. Before we recommend anything new, we look at what you already have. We often discover that clients are paying for overlapping subscriptions, redundant tools, and unused licenses. We eliminate the waste first, so you often save money before spending any.
