What our outsourced IT services include

Outsourced IT means a provider takes day-to-day responsibility for keeping your technology running, secure and aligned with where the business is going. At BTI that responsibility is written into a clear scope, so you always know what is covered, who owns it and how it is measured. A typical outsourced IT support engagement includes:

• Help desk and on-site support. Staff reach a real technician by phone, email or portal during the help desk hours set by your contract, and engineers come on site when a problem needs hands. See our IT help desk services.
• Proactive monitoring and maintenance. Servers, endpoints, firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi and cloud services are monitored around the clock, patched on a schedule and tuned before small issues become outages.
• Network and infrastructure management. We design, install and manage the networks your business runs on, from cabling and switching to SD-WAN and wireless. See network design and optimization.
• Microsoft 365, cloud and identity. Licensing, email security, conditional access, Teams, SharePoint and Azure workloads are configured and managed by one team.
• Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity. Encrypted, immutable backups with scheduled restore tests, plus a recovery plan your leadership has actually seen.
• Hardware lifecycle and procurement. We source, deploy, maintain and retire devices so your fleet stays current and supported. See IT hardware maintenance.
• Managed cybersecurity. Endpoint detection and response, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, vulnerability management and security awareness training, watched 24/7 by our NOC/SOC.
• Strategy and vendor management. Quarterly business reviews, a technology roadmap and budget planning, and we manage your ISPs, software vendors and carriers so you don't have to referee support calls. See IT consultancy services.

Because BTI is a converged technology provider, the same team can also support your phones, contact center, cameras and access control. That matters when a door controller, a VoIP handset and a laptop all share the same network: one provider sees the whole picture and fixes the problem instead of pointing at another vendor.

Is outsourced IT the right fit for your organization?

There is no user-count minimum to work with BTI. Fit depends on how your business runs, not on how many seats you have. Outsourced IT support tends to be a strong fit when several of these are true:

• Your IT is currently handled by one person, a part-time contractor or an office manager who has other responsibilities.
• You need 24/7 monitoring, but staffing nights, weekends and vacations internally isn't realistic.
• Cyber insurers, auditors or customers are asking questions about security controls that you can't answer with documentation.
• You have multiple locations, and each site has grown its own mix of equipment, vendors and workarounds.
• Projects such as cloud migrations, office moves or network refreshes keep slipping because daily support consumes everyone's time.
• You want predictable monthly costs instead of surprise invoices every time something breaks.
• Leadership wants to use AI to lower costs, but no one owns the plan, the security or the governance.

If you already have a capable internal IT team and want to keep it, outsourcing everything may not be the right answer. In that case a co-managed model, described below, usually fits better. For a deeper look at fully managed service, see managed IT services.

Outsourced IT vs co-managed IT vs in-house IT

Most organizations choose among three models. The right one depends on your internal skills, your risk profile and how much of the operational work you want to own.

• Fully outsourced IT. BTI becomes your IT department. We own the help desk, monitoring, security, projects and strategy, and report to your leadership. A good fit for organizations without dedicated IT staff or those that want one accountable partner for everything.
• Co-managed IT. Your internal IT team keeps ownership of the work it knows well, and BTI fills the gaps with 24/7 NOC/SOC monitoring, security tooling, a SOC, project engineering and escalation support. A good fit for organizations with an IT lead or small team that is stretched thin. Learn more about co-managed IT services.
• In-house IT only. You hire, train and retain every role yourself, from help desk to security engineer. This gives maximum control, but it is the most expensive way to get round-the-clock coverage and specialized skills, and it concentrates risk in a few people.

Many clients start with one model and move to another as they grow. A company might begin fully outsourced, hire an internal IT manager later and shift to co-managed support, or the reverse. Our contracts and documentation are built so that transition is a scope change rather than a disruptive switch of providers.

Whichever model you choose, ask any outsourced IT provider the same questions: Who answers at 2 a.m.? Who owns security monitoring? How is the environment documented, and who keeps that documentation if the relationship ends? What is the response commitment in writing? BTI answers each of these in the proposal itself, so you are comparing commitments rather than promises.

Your Guided AI Automation Partner

Organizations often buy outsourced IT on price because their provider isn't using AI to securely lower its own costs, let alone helping clients reduce costs and improve sales in every department. Meanwhile, most organizations already run two kinds of AI. There is the AI they see: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and the assistants built into everyday apps. Then there is the AI they don't see: the automated virtual workforce they should have, or one that is already running without governance and open to attack. Almost no one has a real handle on the AI they already use and pay for.

BTI is your Guided AI Automation Partner. If you want, we close the gap between those two kinds of AI completely, so you can see it all, govern it all, maintain it and improve it, for a small fraction of what doing it alone would cost. You don't have to give anything up. Guided automation also addresses the biggest risk: by some estimates cited by RAND (2024), more than 80 percent of AI projects fail.

• See all of your AI. We map the tools and automations already running in your business, approved or not, and what you are paying for them. Start with AI services and solutions.
• Govern it all. Usage policies, data controls and risk management for both kinds of AI. See AI security, governance and risk.
• Automate with guidance, then maintain and improve it. We help you choose the right AI platform, then build and run automations that lower costs and support sales across departments, and keep tuning them. See AI cost reduction and automation.
• Protect it like everything else. AI tools and automations sit under the same SOC 2 certified NOC/SOC monitoring and ISO 27001 compliant processes as the rest of your environment.

AI advisory is an available option alongside our outsourced IT services, not a requirement. You can start with a review of the AI you already use and decide from there.

Cybersecurity built into every outsourced IT plan

Security is not an add-on in a BTI engagement. Every plan includes a baseline of protective controls, and higher tiers add deeper detection, compliance support and governance. Our NOC/SOC is SOC 2 certified, our security program is ISO 27001 compliant, and our team has handled more than 10,000 alerts with zero missed.

• 24/7 monitoring and response across endpoints, servers, firewalls, Microsoft 365 and cloud applications, with a person reviewing alerts around the clock.
• Endpoint detection and response that isolates a compromised device before ransomware spreads.
• Email and identity protection, including phishing filtering, multi-factor authentication and conditional access.
• Vulnerability and patch management with reporting you can share with insurers and auditors.
• Security awareness training and phishing simulations that measure progress over time.
• Incident response and documentation, so every event is contained, recorded and reviewed.
• Compliance support for frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC and SOC 2 readiness, mapped to the controls your industry expects.

Outsourced IT pricing

BTI outsourced IT plans range from $60 to $290 per user per month. Where your organization lands in that range depends on what you need us to own and how much risk you need us to carry. The main cost drivers are:

• Scope of service: help desk hours and coverage, fully managed, or co-managed alongside your team.
• Security depth: baseline protection versus 24/7 SOC with managed detection, compliance reporting and AI governance.
• Number of locations and on-site needs: multi-site organizations and sites that need regular on-site engineering cost more to support.
• Environment complexity: servers, line-of-business applications, cloud workloads and legacy systems.
• Compliance requirements: regulated industries need more documentation, evidence and review.
• Projects and modernization: network refreshes, migrations and hardware replacement are scoped separately.

After a short assessment we provide an itemized monthly proposal with itemized scope, so you can compare it line by line with other outsourced IT providers. Qualified organizations can finance infrastructure modernization with financing from 4%. See the full breakdown on our managed IT pricing page.

Our onboarding process

Most clients are fully onboarded within 30 to 60 days, depending on the number of users, locations and systems. Onboarding follows four steps:

1. Discovery and planning. We learn how your business works, who your key users are, which systems matter most and what has gone wrong before.
2. Environment and risk assessment. We document your network, devices, accounts, licenses, vendors and security controls, then deliver a prioritized list of risks and quick wins.
3. Deployment and stabilization. We install monitoring and security tools, collect credentials and documentation, close urgent gaps and introduce your staff to the help desk.
4. Ongoing support and partnership. Daily support moves into a steady rhythm of monitoring, maintenance, reporting and quarterly business reviews with a technology roadmap.

Throughout onboarding you have a single project lead, a shared plan with dates and owners, and check-ins at least weekly, often more as projects move fast. A named engineer replies to planning and project questions within one business day, so nothing sits in a queue.

Outsourced IT support for the industries we serve

Every industry runs on different systems and answers to different rules. Our outsourced IT services adapt to the way your organization actually works:

• Healthcare: EHR and clinical application support, HIPAA-aligned controls, oversight of your vendor BAAs and segmented networks for medical devices.
• Manufacturing and logistics: reliable plant-floor and warehouse networks, support for ERP and warehouse management systems, and protection for operational technology that can't be patched on a normal schedule.
• Financial and professional services: secure document management, encrypted email, strict access controls and the audit evidence regulators and clients ask for.
• Education and government: content filtering, device management at scale, and procurement-friendly scoping and documentation.
• Religious and nonprofit organizations: predictable budgets, volunteer-friendly support and practical security for donor and member data.

Across every industry, the goal is the same: technology your people don't have to think about, and security your leadership can prove to insurers, auditors and customers.

Why organizations choose BTI as their outsourced IT support company

Outsourced IT providers can look similar on paper. The differences show up in how they handle a 2 a.m. alert, how clearly they document your environment and whether they are still with you five years later. Clients choose BTI because we combine a 24/7 SOC 2 certified NOC/SOC, ISO 27001 compliant processes and 40 years of infrastructure experience with a single team for IT, security, voice and physical security. As a Cisco Select Partner, we design and support the network layer that everything else depends on. And 98% client retention says more about the day-to-day experience than any marketing claim could.
