A school day runs on technology: online testing, learning platforms, classroom displays, one-to-one devices, attendance and payroll. When the Wi-Fi drops during state testing or hundreds of Chromebooks fail to update, instruction stops. Now boards and families are also asking what the school is doing about AI, and every software vendor is pitching an AI add-on. Most schools have a small IT team covering a lot of buildings and a lot of devices. BTI runs and supports education IT so teachers can teach, and makes AI practical along the way, either as your full IT department or alongside your staff.
This page is part of BTI's connected technology solutions and advisory services for education. The same team that supports your network also supports campus cameras, door access and phones, so issues get one owner. We support a number of education clients.

Fully managed IT: BTI becomes your IT department, with helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, device management and projects under one itemized monthly agreement.
Co-managed IT: keep your technology director and staff, and add BTI's helpdesk, engineers, NOC, summer project help or AI governance. → Co-managed IT
Guided Automation advisory services are included in every BTI managed IT plan at no extra cost: where to start, which use cases are worth it, and how to protect student data. → Education AI
Fast phone, email and portal support with priority for classroom-impacting issues. Teachers get help in minutes, not at the end of the day.
Classrooms packed with devices, gyms used for testing and residence halls full of streaming students all need different designs. BTI designs and validates Wi-Fi with Ekahau, the professional-grade Wi-Fi design and testing tool many smaller providers don't invest in, so coverage and capacity match how each space is actually used. → Commercial Wi-Fi installation · Meraki Wi-Fi
BTI is a Cisco Select and SMB Black Belt partner with thousands of commercial deployments. Cloud-managed switches, firewalls and access points let a small team see every building from one dashboard, with content filtering and segmented networks for students, staff, guests and building systems. → Cisco Meraki partner · Network design
Wi-Fi, switching and firewall designs and bills of materials scoped to E-Rate Category Two eligible equipment, with Ekahau survey reports and documentation for your E-Rate consultant or filing team. Eligibility and funding decisions are made by the program.
Chromebooks, laptops, tablets and interactive displays purchased, enrolled, managed, repaired and retired. Automated updates and inventory tracking cut down on the end-of-year device scramble.
Support for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, rostering and account lifecycle, with access controls that protect student records.
BTI's 24/7 NOC/SOC, delivered with a SOC 2 audited NOC/SOC partner, watches servers, circuits and network devices around the clock and fixes many issues before staff arrive.
Staff and students see AI chat tools. They don't see the AI virtual workforce in BTI's NOC that patches thousands of devices overnight, spots failing access points and triages alerts. BTI is your Guided Automation Partner, and we make sure the AI your staff use is just as controlled.
Teachers who use AI weekly estimate saving 5.9 hours per week, according to a 2025 Gallup and Walton Family Foundation survey, which is why safe, approved tools matter. For AI policy, sourced examples and campus safety analytics, see Education AI.
