In this video, Eric Brackett explains what fully managed IT includes for Phoenix area businesses, including Tempe. Press play.

Growing across the Valley or down to Tucson? Your IT has to keep up as you add sites, staff and systems, with one accountable partner and a local office. I'm Eric Brackett, Founder and President of BTI Communications Group.
I founded BTI in 1985 installing business phones. Over 40 years later, your IT, cybersecurity, cameras, door access, phones and AI share one network, with one accountable partner for it all.
Our managed IT covers the help desk, networks across your sites, Microsoft 365, endpoints, backup and recovery, and security operations, with our 24/7 NOC/SOC monitoring.
Have an internal IT team? Co-managed IT fills the gaps. Moving operations from California? We support California too, so one standard covers both states. Your agreement documents exactly what is covered.
BTI is ISO 27001 compliant and a General Services Administration, or GSA, contract holder. Our Arizona team works from our Phoenix office near Sky Harbor, and an engineer replies within one business day.

You have no IT staff, or one person doing IT on top of a real job.
Your IT manager wants help desk overflow, after-hours cover or security operations.
A new office, a second site or a move needs network, Wi-Fi and Microsoft 365 ready on day one.
Tempe is a short drive from BTI Communications Group's Phoenix office at 615 N 48th St, Suite 1048, about 3 miles away in a straight line. The city sits on I-10, US-60, Loop 101 and Loop 202. Office and tech campuses include Papago Park Center and the Price Corridor. Light industrial runs along the I-10 and Broadway corridor next to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Arizona State University's main campus and Tempe Town Lake are local landmarks. We do not claim the university as a client.
A typical Tempe engagement is help desk for office and warehouse users, Microsoft 365 and identity, campus or suite Wi-Fi, backups, and monitoring by our 24/7 NOC/SOC, with on-site engineers when a closet, switch or move cannot be handled remotely. Because the office is so close, on-site visits for a Tempe closet or cutover are a short trip from 48th Street.
We plan those visits from the Phoenix office, usually via I-10, Loop 202 or Washington Street. We do not have a Tempe office. If a Tempe firm also has a second site in Mesa or Chandler, the same help desk and the same standards cover both. We keep a written recovery plan for the Microsoft 365 tenant and for any on-site servers. 4-hour onsite emergency response under BTI support agreements. Without an agreement, service is best effort.
One place for staff to request help, with documented escalation to engineers who know your systems. See help desk support.
Firewall, switching, structured cabling and wireless as a Cisco Select Partner, with Cisco Meraki options, including office, warehouse and campus coverage. BTI designs and validates Wi-Fi with Ekahau. See network installation and structured cabling.
Licensing, email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune and MFA. See Microsoft 365 migration.
Patching, device standards and planned refreshes, so laptops, PCs and scanners are replaced on a schedule rather than when they fail.
Tested backups for servers and Microsoft 365 data, with a written recovery plan for the tenant and for on-site systems. See backup and continuity.
24/7 monitoring by our 24/7 NOC/SOC, with managed detection and response when you want a deeper program. See managed detection and response.
Also in this program: Cyber Liability Essentials and Recurring Security Testing, governed AI, co-managed IT and itemized pricing.

Structured cabling, switches, fiber and copper runs to offices, docks and work areas, planned so cameras, access control and business systems share one designed network. That work is published on the regional network installation page. Network installation and structured cabling. Book a network site walk.
Coverage plans for offices, warehouse aisles, staging and shop floors, where ordinary office access points often fail. BTI designs and validates Wi-Fi with Ekahau, as a Cisco Select Partner, with Cisco Meraki options where they fit.
Production equipment, scanners, cameras and building systems stay off the office, guest and finance networks, with firewall rules and monitoring so a warehouse device cannot open a path into Microsoft 365.
24/7 monitoring and alerting when a switch, wireless controller or circuit fails, and on-site engineers from Phoenix office when the issue cannot be fixed remotely. 4-hour onsite emergency response under BTI support agreements. Without an agreement, service is best effort.
Our 24/7 NOC/SOC watches endpoints, firewalls, Microsoft 365 sign-ins and backups, and responds to alerts as they happen. Plans add managed detection and response, managed patching and vulnerability management, and a vCISO for policy, insurance questionnaires and audit evidence. For companies that want a defined starting point, Cyber Liability Essentials and Recurring Security Testing package the controls insurers ask about most. BTI works under ISO 27001 compliant governance, independently reviewed through the TAG ISO 27001 Compliance Program. See cybersecurity in Phoenix and Tucson and Phoenix and Tucson managed IT.

AI arrives two ways, and both need rules. BTI makes AI work inside your real workflows, keeps the spend in check, and governs the tools, the usage and the systems they touch. That includes office tools and any AI features that show up in the software you already pay for.
Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, used by staff in a company-controlled workspace with access controls and logging.
AI features switched on inside the apps you already pay for, background automations and agents. A shadow AI and data governance assessment finds them.
