Simply IT is an authorized partner with the vendors behind the tools we deploy — cloud, security, communication, and procurement. Partnerships mean we get factory-direct support, certified deployment paths, and pricing tiers we can pass through to clients.
Each vendor below is the actual platform behind a category of what we deploy. We chose four partners because they cover the spectrum — productivity, security, communications, and the procurement layer that ties it together.
Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 Copilot — licensing, deployment, identity, and tenant management.
Direct partner access lets Simply IT provision M365 licenses, set up Entra ID conditional-access policies, and stand up Azure tenants the same day a client signs.
Firewall appliances, threat detection, multi-factor authentication, and endpoint protection.
WatchGuard hardware sits at the edge of every Simply IT–managed network. Authorized status means hands-on support escalations and proper firmware-tier access.
VoIP phone systems, unified communications, business email & archiving.
Intermedia is the platform behind Simply IT's hosted phone systems. Authorized partner status gives priority porting, configuration support, and US-based escalation.
Cloud procurement marketplace and licensing automation across hundreds of MSP-tier vendors.
Pax8 is how Simply IT buys, provisions, and bills client cloud subscriptions in one place — from M365 to Acronis to Bitdefender. Procurement scale we couldn't get direct.
Beyond vendor partnerships, Simply IT is plugged into the local Ocala business community and the veteran-owned-business network. Each link below points to the third-party directory entry — independent verification of who we say we are.
Simply IT carries a BBB Accreditation for the Ocala / North Central Florida region — independent verification of trust and operating standards.
Active member of Ocala's chamber-of-commerce equivalent — connecting Simply IT to local business leaders and economic-development initiatives.
Steve Condit is an active member of the Ocala BNI chapter — a weekly accountability network of local professional-services owners.
Listed in the VetWorks directory of veteran-owned businesses. Simply IT is veteran-owned — Steve Condit, US Marine Corps.
Simply IT is an authorized partner with each vendor listed above. That means we have an active reseller and deployment relationship — not a generic free-tier signup or a one-time training certificate.
We do not currently hold third-party security attestations like SOC 2 ourselves. Where compliance matters (HIPAA-aligned environments, FTC Safeguards-aware deployments, ABA-aware legal infrastructure), we configure our clients' environments to support their compliance program — and we deploy on top of vendor enterprise tiers that carry the underlying SOC 2 attestations, BAA agreements, and audit logging required.
If a vendor partnership or membership shown above ever lapses, this page is updated. If you spot something out of date, please let us know — info@simplyit.biz.
