Why Tampa businesses switch

Tampa has no shortage of IT providers. The same people every time is rarer.

Three people get to know your company: a Concierge Lead and two Specialists, with the whole company behind them. They learn your people's names, how the office is wired, and what was tried last month, so the second call never starts from zero.

Around Tampa Bay, security is often sold as an upgrade. Here it is built in from the first day: people watch sign-ins, mailboxes and computers around the clock and step in when something looks wrong.

The ordinary changes of running a business, a new hire, a departure, a new printer in Westshore, are part of the monthly price. Bigger work is written up as a project, with a price, before anyone starts.

Everything we do, for $125 per person.

01

Your team

Three named people who know your company, from Centro Ybor and from your Tampa office when it matters.

02

Your security

Sign-ins, mailboxes and computers watched around the clock by people who act, not an alert that waits for Monday.

03

Your devices

Each computer set up to one standard, kept current, and watched for trouble.

04

Your safety net

A backup kept apart from your systems, tested, and ready to roll back to any point.

05

Your plan and people

Next year's technology thought through in plain words, and your staff shown how to spot a scam.

06

Microsoft 365

Mail, files and Teams set up properly, secured, and kept simple, licensing included.

Security is included in the $125, not added on. Your team, your devices, backup, planning and Microsoft 365 care, all in one price per person.

For regulated practices

Security + Compliance

+$30 per person, per month

The compliance work for offices held to HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule or CJIS, on top of the security everyone already has.

For the people who use it

Copilot, AI for work

+$30 per person who uses it

Microsoft Copilot set up safely, only for the people who need it.

A 25-person firm: $3,125 a month, and $3,750 to set up. Setup is $150 per person at a computer, $1,500 at least. Microsoft licenses are their own lines, at Microsoft’s prices.

Who you’ll know by name

Three people who know your setup.

We know what it is like when the one person who knows your IT is out. So Tampa clients get a team, and nobody has to explain the office twice. Javier, Jonathan and Joe work from Centro Ybor, meet you downtown at Truist Place when that is closer, and come to Brandon, Carrollwood or Temple Terrace when hands are needed.

Javier Pereira
Javier PereiraConcierge Lead

I take on the projects and the stubborn problems, and explain them in plain English.

Jonathan Jones
Jonathan JonesConcierge Specialist

I handle the big moves: migrations, mergers, new devices, and everything Microsoft 365.

Joe Gallagher
Joe GallagherConcierge Specialist

I bring new clients on board and look after the cloud, the servers, and the backups.

Changing providers

Nothing changes until you've said yes.

1

A 30-minute call

With Pedro, Bill or Leah. An honest answer on fit, and if we fit, a picture of the first month. If not, who in Tampa to call instead.

2

A look, then a price

We study what you have while your current provider is still in place. Nothing moves until a plan and a price are in writing and you have said yes.

3

The first month is ours

Computers protected, your people introduced to Javier, Jonathan and Joe by name, and the handover from the old provider handled for you.

“Excellent service from start to finish. The attention to detail and professionalism really stand out, and it feels like a truly personalized service rather than a one size fits all approach.”

Do you have the keys to your own IT? Or does someone else?

Most owners think they know, until the one person who does is out on a Friday.

Leah writes to you once, by name. Nobody adds you to a list.

Managed IT in Tampa, questions

Who is this for?

Tampa businesses of 15 to 150 people, from a Westshore practice to a Brandon firm, who want their own IT team without hiring one.

How quickly do you respond?

On weekdays, usually within 15 minutes, and by someone who already knows how your office is set up.

Is there a contract?

One year, or two or more at the Preferred Rate, with sixty days' notice before renewal. Plain English throughout.

How are Microsoft licenses billed?

As their own lines at Microsoft's prices, so the plan price is the plan price.

We're in Clearwater. Is Tampa our office?

Pinellas, Clearwater and the beaches are looked after from our St. Petersburg office, by the same company, so nobody spends an afternoon on a bridge.

We have an IT person already. Does this still fit?

It does. Co-managed IT puts a team behind your IT lead, so they are never the only one who knows.

Our Tampa IT company was bought. What now?

You do not have to decide anything this week. We have been independent since 1996. When you want a second opinion: half an hour with Pedro, Bill or Leah, a quiet look at your setup while the new owner is still in place, and a price on paper. Until you have said yes, nothing changes.

Who holds our Microsoft 365 admin keys?

Your firm, always. Admin access, the domain, the DNS and the backups are documented and handed over in writing, which is how a Tampa office stays in charge of its own systems whoever looks after them.

See if we fit, in thirty minutes.

If we are the right fit, you hear what the first month looks like. If not, who to call instead.
