BrixTec, also headquartered in Tampa, is the outsourcing IT solutions leader for small and mid-sized businesses (10 to 150+ employees) in Central Florida.

“One of our 2010 initiatives is to acquire companies with like customer service philosophies and strategic business direction. BrixTec does more than meet these objectives – it exceeds them. We are elated to have Tom Stanton join our family,” said Jason Caras, Co-CEO of IT Authorities.

With this strategic acquisition, IT Authorities immediately strengthens its presence and market share in IT outsourcing, systems integration, technical migrations, technical consulting, network design and implementation, disaster recovery, and IT audits leader among the manufacturing, distribution, and legal industries.

“I decided to join IT Authorities because we reached a point in our business where we needed to either grow internally, acquire other companies or be acquired. I have known and worked with IT Authorities for over a year and learned that they were already where we needed to be. They have the culture, execution and are laser focused to provide the best managed services offerings available. Now that BrixTec has joined the IT Authorities team I am very confident we will be able to not only give great service to our existing clients, but also achieve our goal of being the best in the business,” said Tom Stanton, President of BrixTec.
