Our Services
Managed IT Services in Sarasota
Sarasota businesses run on technology, but most small to midsized organizations can’t justify hiring a full IT department. MET Florida (MET FL) fills that gap by delivering the coverage of an entire team — from fast help desk support to executive-level strategy — at a fraction of the cost.
With proactive monitoring, 24/7 help desk access, and local on-site service, issues are solved before they disrupt your business. Our tiered model means you always get the right expertise, without overpaying. And unlike many providers, we pass through at-cost software licensing across more than 700 vendors, giving Sarasota businesses real savings on cloud, security, and productivity tools.
When you choose MET Florida, you’re not just getting IT support — you’re gaining a trusted partner committed to keeping Sarasota businesses secure, efficient, and ready to grow.
HIPAA Compliance in Sarasota
For medical practices in Sarasota, compliance isn’t optional — it’s essential. Too often, providers assume that because their EHR vendor claims to be “secure,” they’re automatically covered. In reality, HIPAA requires far more: documented policies, vendor oversight, risk assessments, and continuous monitoring.
MET Florida (MET FL) delivers HIPAA compliance services built for Sarasota healthcare providers. We perform full Security Risk Assessments, create and maintain required policies, monitor systems for gaps, and keep your practice audit-ready at all times.
Because we’ve worked directly with auditors, we know what they expect — and how to respond if your practice is ever questioned. Our team has stepped in during surprise audits to organize responses, correct deficiencies, and protect providers from penalties.
When it comes to HIPAA, MET FL doesn’t just check boxes. We help Sarasota practices stay compliant, secure, and prepared.

What Separates MET FL from Other Vendors
Most IT companies promise great service — but many fall short. Calls get routed to distant help desks, invoices include hidden fees, and compliance is treated like an afterthought. MET Florida (MET FL) was built to be different. Here’s how we stand apart for Sarasota businesses:
At-Cost Licensing
Unlike many providers, we don’t pad margins by marking up Microsoft 365 or other subscriptions. Our managed clients receive licensing at cost across Microsoft and more than 700 vendor partnerships. The result is lower expenses and enterprise-grade tools without the unnecessary markup.
Local, On-Site Support
When Sarasota businesses call, we’re already close by. Our technicians live and work here, making same-day service the standard. No out-of-town contractors. No call centers. Just local support you can count on.
Compliance Expertise
HIPAA and PCI aren’t optional add-ons for us — they’re central to what we do. Because we’ve worked directly with auditors, we know exactly what regulators expect and how to keep Sarasota providers and businesses prepared year-round.
The Full IT Department Model
Instead of depending on one or two generalists, you gain structured support across all levels. From fast Tier 1 help desk assistance to Tier 4 executive strategy, every task is handled by the right person at the right time.
Proactive, Not Reactive
We don’t wait for problems to cause downtime. With proactive monitoring, prevention, and planning, MET FL keeps Sarasota businesses running smoothly and securely.
