BTI Communications Group plans, deploys, licenses, secures and manages Microsoft 365, Teams Phone, Teams Rooms, Intune, Entra ID, Defender, Purview, Azure and Copilot for regulated, multi-site organizations, with engineers in Los Angeles, Chicago and Phoenix and support across the U.S.
BTI Communications Group is a Microsoft solutions provider that designs, migrates, licenses, secures and supports the Microsoft cloud for mid-market and enterprise organizations in healthcare, government, education, financial services, manufacturing and logistics. Because BTI also runs managed IT, managed cybersecurity, Teams calling and network infrastructure, your Microsoft environment is planned and supported as one system.
Tenant design, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams migrations from on-premises or other platforms, including tenant-to-tenant moves after mergers. Cutovers are staged by site and department to protect operations.
Replace legacy PBXs with Teams Phone through Operator Connect, delivered with Brightlink and other carriers, or Direct Routing over certified session border controllers. Number porting, E911, auto attendants, call queues and Teams contact center options.
Room assessments, certified Teams Rooms hardware, cabling, AV and network readiness, and managed monitoring so every conference and huddle room starts on time.
Conditional Access, MFA and passwordless rollouts, single sign-on, Autopilot provisioning, compliance policies and mobile device management for corporate and BYOD devices.
Defender for Endpoint, Office 365 and Identity configuration, plus Purview data classification, DLP, retention, eDiscovery and audit, mapped to HIPAA, CJIS, FTC Safeguards and other frameworks.

Azure infrastructure, Azure Virtual Desktop, hybrid identity and site recovery, plus Microsoft 365 backup and business continuity and disaster recovery with tested restore plans.
Extend your internal IT team with co-managed IT support, or hand BTI the full Microsoft stack with 24/7 help desk, patching, monitoring and quarterly reviews.
BTI sells and manages Microsoft licensing directly. We procure Microsoft 365, Teams Phone, Azure and Copilot subscriptions through leading cloud distributors such as Pax8, which gives our clients buying advantages, and we manage those licenses as an ongoing service rather than a one-time order.
We map every user and device to the right plan (Business, E3, E5, F-series or add-ons) to maximize ROI and real utilization of the features you already pay for.
Regular reviews remove unused and duplicate licenses, align renewals and term commitments, and give finance one clear view of Microsoft spend across sites.
Licensing is planned alongside backup, retention and recovery, so continuity requirements are met without paying for overlapping tools.
We align Defender and Entra security features with managed cybersecurity, SIEM log collection and 24/7 monitoring, so security licenses are actually configured and watched.
Independent backup of Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data, with defined retention and tested restores.
Advanced email protection layered on Microsoft 365 using industry-leading tools such as Proofpoint, covering phishing, impersonation, encryption and user awareness.
Tenant, licensing, identity, security and voice review against your compliance and business goals.
A written roadmap covering architecture, licensing, migration waves, Teams Phone and Copilot readiness.
Staged migrations and cutovers by certified engineers, with user communication and training.
Conditional Access, Defender, Purview and email security configured and documented.
Co-managed or fully managed support, license right-sizing and quarterly business reviews.
