Tampa Bay Provider Guide
Ranked with disclosed criteria and real, dated, checkable data. We are fine with you taking this list to anyone on it.
Last updated: July 27, 2026
Tampa Bay's economy is anchored by Tampa General Hospital, BayCare, and AdventHealth in healthcare, and by one of the Southeast's largest financial services concentrations, with Raymond James headquartered across the bay in St. Petersburg. Practices carry HIPAA weight, advisory firms carry SEC Reg S-P and GLBA duties, and Florida's 30-day breach notification clock (Fla. Stat. 501.171) is one of the tightest in the country. This guide ranks the Tampa managed IT market with verified Google data as of July 2026.
The criteria: verified Google review score and depth, written response SLA commitments, pricing transparency, compliance specialization, and service coverage and on-site capability. All review data carries an "as of" date and is refreshed quarterly.
Disclosure: this guide is published by Evolv IT, a Birmingham managed services provider, and Evolv IT appears as the featured provider. Every competitor fact below is drawn from public sources and dated. We are fine with you taking this list to anyone on it.
Evolv IT · headquartered in Birmingham, serving Tampa Bay remote-first with on-site dispatch · 5.0 Google rating, 29 reviews as of July 2026.
Evolv IT serves Tampa Bay from its Birmingham headquarters: critical issues actively worked within 15 minutes under a written SLA wherever you sit, on-site work dispatched and scheduled. And our model is simple: as our client base grows in a market, we hire technicians in that market. It is how Huntsville and Tuscaloosa got theirs. Our differentiators are published pricing and compliance depth across healthcare, financial services, and professional services, including Reg S-P incident response readiness built for the 30-day Florida clock. The question worth weighing is not whose office is closest. It is whose response clock is in the contract. Local phone: (813) 308-4466.
