Big Sur Technologies, Inc., a Tampa-based managed IT services provider, acquired Alliance IT, LLC, a Sarasota-based technology services company. The acquisition expands Big Sur's operations into the Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice markets while adding Alliance IT's expertise in Microsoft 365, Azure hosting, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance consulting.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Big Sur, founded more than 25 years ago, provides managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud computing, managed voice, and network support to hundreds of organizations in the Tampa Bay area.
Big Sur's existing and newly acquired customers across legal, manufacturing, engineering, construction, financial services, and nonprofit sectors will gain access to a broader team and expanded cybersecurity and compliance resources. Alliance IT customers will continue receiving personalized support while benefiting from Big Sur's investments in automation and AI-driven service delivery.
Employees of both organizations will be part of a larger combined operation, though no staffing or branding changes were announced.
The deal strengthens Big Sur's competitive position in Florida's Gulf Coast managed IT market and adds specialized CMMC consulting, which is increasingly important for government-related supply chains.
Watch for integration details such as changes to Alliance IT's branding, staffing, or office locations, which were not disclosed. Also monitor how Big Sur leverages its automation and AI investments to standardize service delivery across the combined client base, and whether it pursues further acquisitions in Florida as part of its stated expansion strategy.
