Purpose

BTI's purpose is to help companies increase efficiency, streamline operations, and improve sales using advanced communication technology.  Voice and data communication have become unified communication converged on the corporate data network.  With an array of specialists and products promising various solutions, customers are challenged with where to start and how to implement these solutions at the lowest cost and highest benefit to their organization. Standard practice has been to procure items from various vendors and piece them together.  Our customers realize that for them, the cost and complexity of multiple vendors, technologies, and management interfaces, outweighs the apparent savings of this approach.   By using BTI, our customers can achieve better user satisfaction and productivity, with less headcount dedicated to supporting the solution, than any other vendor solution.  More technology is converging on the network.  Building automation, security, quality control, training, meetings, conferences, and phone calls all can be managed with ease on a BTI implemented and monitored unified communication solution.  BTI is committed to continuing to lead the evolution of network-centric technology and creating smart intelligent networks that enable businesses to communicate from anywhere utilizing whatever devices they need.

What We Do

Unlimited communications and executive technology management are at the core of our products and services. We provide the highest quality Unified Communications (UC) and Voice Over IP (VoIP) products available today and integrate these products into a customized network platform applying a management 360 approach to the monitoring of our customer’s network infrastructure. With an intelligent use of technology, we provide UC Systems that are designed to grow with your business and empower you to easily customize or modify any time you want.

The success of a UC or VoIP deployment relies on correct network analysis and product implementation and delivering a 360 management framework over the network that will maintain this environment. A correctly deployed solution on a data network raises the standards of the data network infrastructure in the form of stronger procedures and better infrastructure design. This results in improved service for all network users and services.

How We Help

The integration of voice, fax, video and data can offer immediate significant savings to any company’s bottom line. 

Simplified Management - Remote management of the entire voice and data system makes high tech solutions easy and affordable to any business. BTI increases standardization across a client network, to effectively reduce the amount of networking equipment required and moderate complexities for ongoing maintenance.

Converged Network Solutions - We have extensive experience in complex voice and data networks and have advanced expertise in deploying and supporting converged network solutions. This makes us uniquely placed to seamlessly interconnect traditional and new voice technologies and properly support migrating hybrid systems after installation.
