IT Authorities Culture

IT Authorities is a place of personal and professional development.  It is a place where employees congratulate each other even when they are competing for the same positions.  It is a place where you can come in one day having had a difficult morning and be able to look to your right and left and see people that you can rely on day in and day out to be a rock in terms of consistency and positive outlooks.

IT Authorities is on a mission to change the world and we started the process by changing ourselves individually. We call it a revolution because we are a living, breathing organism made up of people that believe we can and will become the next Google or Southwest Airlines of Managed Service Providers (MSP's).

As the fastest growing and leading national managed services provider headquartered in Tampa, Florida we are considered the "thought leaders" when it comes to managed services. Why? Because managed services is all we do. Since we established laser focus on being the best managed service provider in the world, we stopped competing with other managed service providers and began competing with the concept of greatness. Put quite simply, we have crafted and continue to improve the most sophisticated, advanced and valuable managed service offering around.

We believe the most important issue facing businesses today is human capital. The world is filled with employees who ask "what am I getting?" and simply put the world needs more people that ask "what am I becoming?" We believe companies have a responsibility far above and beyond financial security and payroll. We believe companies must focus on personal development of their employees followed by professional development to reach extraordinary and lasting success and not the other way around. We believe that focus on things instead of the people that invest their lives with your company will result in typical results. Too many companies settle for typical results due to the lack of leadership in this light and direction. When companies settle and put the proverbial cart before the horse, they inevitably join the mediocrity majority. Self actualized, motivated, high performance living people will outperform people who are just showing up for the paycheck and the job security. Our leadership style is focused on helping the individual live a high performance life which will give them balance with their own value system as well as our company value system. We expect more from our employees than our competitors on a personal and performance perspective and we receive it without our pressure. Our leadership style is straightforward; we help our employees live a high performance life and subsequently, our company enjoys a high performance existence which has translated into extraordinary and lasting results.

Our vision is simple and clear and is reinforced throughout every single day by our own employees. The vision has taken on a life of its own. Our vision is to be the best managed service provider in the world. Being the best means operating at high performance. Our company operates at high performance levels because our people live high performance lives. We REQUIRE that our employees work harder on themselves than they do their job. We believe that the only way to be the best managed service provider in the world is to have the best people at the helm. The best people don't become the best overnight. We utilize two triggers that we have adopted to keep us focused on our values and philosophies to improve and be the best. We didn't invent these concepts, but we do consistently maintain them which is even better in our opinion.

212° Concept
The first trigger is the 212 degree concept. At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. It's that one extra degree, just one, that makes all the difference. And so many times, it's that one extra degree of effort in business, and in life, that separates the good from the great. We interpret this as giving your very best even when no one is watching..
