From here we go to Westshore, Brandon, Temple Terrace, Carrollwood, and the rest of Hillsborough County.

Two addresses

Our Tampa office is at Centro Ybor, 1600 East 8th Avenue, in the historic district east of downtown, with a second address at 401 East Jackson Street in the middle of downtown. Clients meet us at whichever is closer, and more often we meet them where they work: Westshore, Bayshore, Brandon, Temple Terrace, Carrollwood, and the rest of Hillsborough County. By appointment, so the right person is in the room. Clients on the Pinellas side of the bay have our St. Petersburg office, so nobody's afternoon is spent on a bridge.

Your own IT team in Tampa

Tampa has no shortage of IT providers. What most of them cannot offer is the same people every time. Three people know your company, a Concierge Lead and two Concierge Specialists, backed by the whole company. They know your people's names, your setup, and what was tried last month, so the second call never starts from zero. The ordinary changes of running a business, a new hire, a departure, a new printer, are part of the monthly price. Bigger work, a move or a migration, is written up as a project with a price before anyone starts. Microsoft licenses appear on the invoice as their own lines, at Microsoft's prices. How the plan works in Tampa.

Security in every plan

Much of the Tampa Bay market sells security as an upgrade. With us it comes built in. Around the clock, a security operations center watches sign-ins, mailboxes, and devices and steps in when something looks wrong. Mail is screened before anyone opens it. Each computer carries protection that is managed, not just installed. Backups live apart from your systems, are tested, and roll back to any point you choose. We are SOC 2 compliant and work to HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, GLBA, CJIS, and Florida's FIPA, whichever rules your firm answers to; Security + Compliance adds the evidence and the controls a regulated practice needs.

When something is wrong

Phone, email, the client sign-in, or a visit: your choice, and a person who already knows your environment picks it up. Most of it is handled over the wire because that is quickest. When a problem wants a person in the room, one drives over from Ybor or downtown to Westshore, Brandon, Temple Terrace, Carrollwood, or wherever in Hillsborough County you are. More about IT support in Tampa.

Switching from another Tampa provider

Thirty minutes with Pedro, Bill, or Leah comes first. If it makes sense to keep talking, we look at what you have while your current provider is still in place, and nothing changes until you have a plan and a price in writing and have said yes. Then the first month is ours: computers protected, people introduced to the team by name, and the handover from the old provider handled by us. If we are not the right fit, you hear who to call instead.
