Strategic Technology Partnerships

We don’t just use technology—we partner with the industry’s best to bring you proven, enterprise-grade solutions.

Backup & Business Continuity

Kaseya, the parent company of Datto, featured CTI in an official case study: CTI Technology Migrates to Autotask for Greater Efficiency. We leverage Datto Continuity for comprehensive backup and disaster recovery, ensuring your business can weather any storm. Our partnership extends to Datto RMM for monitoring and Autotask PSA for seamless service delivery.

Acronis
Every managed service plan includes 250GB of automated Microsoft 365 backup. For clients with heavier compliance requirements, such as healthcare practices and RIAs, we use Acronis for fast recovery, with secure, encrypted backups stored in USA-based data centers.

Network & Infrastructure

Cisco Partner
Enterprise networks demand enterprise expertise. Our Cisco-certified technicians design, configure, and deploy rock-solid network infrastructure—from routers and switches to firewalls and wireless controllers. We speak Cisco fluently, and your network stability proves it.

Cloud & Productivity

Microsoft – Cloud Solution Provider
The cloud isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential. As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, we guide businesses through Microsoft 365, Office 365, Azure migrations, and virtual desktop deployments. Our Microsoft-certified professionals don’t just implement solutions; we optimize them for your specific workflows. Whether it’s Teams deployment or full Azure infrastructure, we’ve got you covered.

Unified Communications

CallTele Voice/Cloud
Communication shouldn’t be complicated. Our partnership with CallTele brings you hosted PBX, VoIP solutions, enhanced SIP trunking, and unified communications platforms that actually work the way you need them to. Mobile VoIP, call center functionality—it’s all part of creating seamless communication across your organization.

Apple Expertise – MacHero Division

Fourteen Years of Apple Excellence, Now Part of CTI
In April 2022, we acquired MacHero, Chicago’s premier Apple specialist with 14 years of dedicated Mac expertise. This wasn’t just an acquisition—it was a commitment to Apple users who deserve IT partners who truly understand their ecosystem. Our MacHero team brings CompTIA Network+ certification and JumpCloud Core Certification, delivering dedicated Apple-centric consulting and managed IT services.

Our help desk is staffed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central, with average response and resolution times under one hour.
