Tampa Bay manufacturers produce electronics, medical devices, avionics, fertilizer and food, with a dense cluster of plants in Pinellas County. For Tampa Bay manufacturers, ITServices.Tech handles managed IT end to end: the help desk, cybersecurity, backup and recovery, and technology planning.
Pinellas plants and Hillsborough industry
Jabil, one of the largest electronics contract manufacturers in the world, is based in St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County is packed with medical device, avionics, optics and defense electronics plants from Largo and Clearwater to Oldsmar. Across the bay, Mosaic runs its phosphate fertilizer business from Tampa, and food, beverage and packaging producers operate around Plant City and the Port.
Medical device quality systems
Device makers keep design history files, device master records, complaint logs and validation evidence under FDA quality system rules. Those records live in document control and ERP systems that must be validated, access controlled and recoverable. We keep the platforms patched and backed up without breaking validated configurations, and we document every change for your quality team.
Defense electronics suppliers
Avionics and electronics shops serving defense primes receive drawings with CUI markings and purchase orders carrying DFARS clauses. That means NIST SP 800-171, an SPRS score and CMMC planning. We trace where that data flows, wall it off from general business files and build the evidence a prime or assessor will ask to see.
After Helene and Milton
Two hurricanes in two weeks in 2024 pushed storm surge into Pinellas and left much of the region dark for days. Plants that recovered fastest had servers off the floor or in the cloud, copies of engineering and ERP data outside the area, and a printed list of who to call and in what order.
Shift work and shared terminals
Production floors often share terminals between shifts. Badge or PIN sign-in to named accounts, screens that lock automatically and role-based access to MES and quality systems keep records attributable to the right person, which auditors expect.
IT services for Tampa manufacturers
- Support for the shop-floor network and machine PCs
- Server, backups and user access for your ERP
- Office and shop-floor networks kept separate and secure
- CMMC preparation for defense suppliers
Everything runs under one managed IT agreement, with the help desk, monitoring, patching, Microsoft 365, security and backups handled by the same team.
Software we support
We support the systems you already run, such as Epicor, JobBOSS, SAP Business One and Microsoft Dynamics, along with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mastercam and label software like BarTender, without making you replace them. PLC and controller programming stays with your machine vendor or integrator.
Security and compliance
We help defense suppliers prepare for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 (NIST SP 800-171) with a gap review, policies and security controls. The formal assessment is done by an outside assessor (C3PAO).
