Traditional managed IT providers focus on resolving user tickets after problems occur. Infrastructure-led managed IT focuses on preventing incidents by governing the underlying systems that cause them.

Who Infrastructure-Led Managed IT Is For
This model is best suited for organizations that meet one or more of the following:
- Annual revenue over $25 million
- Multiple locations or distributed operations
- Regulated consumer or employee data
- Cyber-insurance requirements
- Converged IT, security, and voice environments
As organizations scale, reactive IT models increase operational and legal risk. Proactive, infrastructure-led managed it involves higher onboarding costs but lower risk and support cost. BTI recommends onboarding investments that return their costs yearly.
Converged Infrastructure, Security & Governance
Modern enterprises operate converged environments including:
IT Infrastructure
Cloud platforms, on-premises servers, virtualization, storage, backup systems, and disaster recovery infrastructure.
Cybersecurity
Security tooling, threat monitoring, identity management, access controls, endpoint protection, and incident response.
Voice & Communication
VoIP systems, contact centers, unified communications, video conferencing, and collaboration platforms.
Physical Security
IoT devices, access control systems, surveillance cameras, environmental monitoring, and facility integration.
Infrastructure-led managed IT governs these systems together to eliminate gaps created by fragmented vendors.
If failure creates regulatory exposure or material disruption, this model was built for you.
Infrastructure-Led vs Traditional Managed IT
Understanding the distinction between traditional managed service providers and infrastructure-led models is critical for enterprise IT decisionmakers. The differences extend far beyond service scope—they reflect fundamentally different approaches to risk, liability, and operational.
