OUR LEADERSHIP
Sylvester Tate
President, Tate Computer Systems, Inc.
Sylvester Tate, President/Ceo of Tate Computer Systems has spent the last 30 years growing his company from a one employee organization to over 40 full-time employees where he went from Typewriters, and Calculators sales and service to a full fledge IT company servicing local small companies to major corporations throughout the region. Mr. Tate has done this by continuing to reinvent his company as technology changes.

He had an urge for more so he ventured out and initiated his own business servicing typewriters and Packard Bell computers. He then learned about contracting and took the initiative to advance and brand his company around the Memphis community and beyond.
