Multi-vendor architecture for service providers.
Carriers, MSPs, and managed service providers operate large, multi-vendor networks under tight SLAs. BTA architects the segmentation, observability, and policy automation that scale across the footprint.
Vendor-agnostic design across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Nokia, and cloud-native fabrics. Policy automation and observability turn multi-vendor sprawl into governable architecture.
What telecom and service providers call us about.
The network is the product. Architecture, change control, and observability have to scale with the customer base.
- Risk 01
Multi-vendor policy fragmentation
Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and cloud-native controls accumulate policy planes that drift apart over time.
- Risk 02
Customer-facing SLA exposure
Configuration drift, change-control gaps, and inconsistent telemetry create incidents that get measured in customer credits.
- Risk 03
Compliance across the customer base
Carriers and MSPs operate environments under PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001 simultaneously. Evidence has to be reusable.
What BTA delivers for telecom and MSPs.
Vendor-agnostic architecture across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and cloud-native fabrics, with observability and policy automation as first-class outputs.

We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.
Learn moreManaged Services
BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Telecom, answered.
Direct answers from BTA leadership who run Telecom engagements.
Are you locked into Cisco?
No. BTA is vendor-agnostic. We design and operate environments running multiple platforms side by side, including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and cloud-native fabrics. We are also a Cisco MINT-certified partner for engagements that require deep Cisco expertise.Can BTA serve our enterprise customers as a delivery partner?
Yes. We work directly with MSPs and service providers as a delivery partner under your brand or ours, depending on the engagement model.How do you handle policy across multiple vendors?
Architect Explorer™ provides multi-vendor visibility, and PAE drives policy lifecycle and evidence collection across the fabric, vendor-agnostic.Do you support SASE migration design?
Yes. SASE migration and edge security are defined engagement scopes under our Optimize pillar.Can you help us pass SOC 2 or ISO 27001 across our customer base?
Yes. Architecture and documentation are designed to be reusable across customer-facing audits, with evidence collection automated through PAE.
