What technology solutions does Simply IT provide for construction companies?+
Simply IT provides managed IT services specifically configured for construction and trades businesses including Microsoft 365 with SharePoint for project document management, mobile device management for field teams, VoIP phone systems with mobile app, security cameras for job sites and offices, and on-site and remote support. We connect office and field teams with technology that keeps projects organized and communication consistent.
How does Simply IT help construction companies manage files and photos from job sites?+
Simply IT deploys Microsoft 365 with SharePoint organized by project — giving field teams access to blueprints, contracts, and project documents from any device in the field. Job site photos upload directly to the correct project folder from mobile devices. All project communication moves to Microsoft Teams — searchable, organized by project, and no longer dependent on personal text message threads.
Does Simply IT install security cameras at job sites?+
Yes. Simply IT installs security cameras at job sites covering material storage areas, equipment parking, and site access points with 30-day cloud recording. Remote viewing is configured on owner and supervisor phones. Job site camera footage has supported insurance claims for Simply IT clients — providing documentation of weather damage, equipment theft, and site conditions that resulted in full insurance payouts.
How does mobile device management work for field teams?+
Simply IT deploys mobile device management on field employee phones and tablets — separating company data from personal data and enabling remote wipe of company information if a device is lost or an employee leaves. Field supervisors can access project files, communicate via Microsoft Teams, and make calls on the business phone number from their personal device — all through the company MDM platform.
What areas does Simply IT serve for construction company IT support?+
Simply IT provides managed IT and technology services for construction and trades businesses throughout North Central Florida including Ocala, Gainesville, The Villages, Daytona Beach, and all surrounding areas across Marion, Sumter, Lake, Alachua, Volusia, Levy, and Citrus Counties. We provide both remote support and on-site service at office and field locations.
How does Simply IT secure project files and bid documents from cyber theft?+
Construction companies are an increasingly common target for business-email-compromise (BEC) attacks — attackers monitor bid timing and impersonate project owners or general contractors to redirect change-order payments. Simply IT deploys email security with display-name impersonation alerts and Safe Links, MFA on every account, encrypted SharePoint storage for project documents, and security awareness training focused on the BEC patterns specific to construction. The combination cuts BEC exposure dramatically without changing how the office or field teams work.
What technology is required to bid on government or commercial construction projects?+
Federal contracts, state DOT projects, and many large commercial GCs now require subcontractors to demonstrate baseline cybersecurity controls — typically MFA on email and remote access, encrypted file storage, current cyber insurance, and a written incident response plan. Some federal projects additionally require CMMC Level 1 or 2 attestation. Simply IT helps construction clients meet these baseline requirements without over-engineering for controls they do not actually need.
