Managed IT and Business Phones in Billings, MT, Built for Multi-Site Teams
Granite Tech supports Billings businesses with managed IT, business phone systems, cybersecurity, and structured cabling, from downtown and the West End out to Laurel, Lockwood, Red Lodge, and Hardin. Many Billings organizations run more than one facility or send crews across Eastern Montana, so we set up the network, the phones, and the security to work the same way at every site.

No storefront in Billings. A support model built for distance.
Granite Tech serves Billings as a service area. We do not keep an office in town, and we would rather say so up front. What Billings clients get is the managed IT, phone, and security coverage our Missoula, Bozeman, and Kalispell clients get, delivered the way long-distance support should work: remote first, on site when the job needs hands.
Most tickets never need a truck. Monitoring watches servers, firewalls, and workstations around the clock, and our help desk fixes most user problems over a remote session. When the work is physical, like a failed switch, a cable run, or a camera, we schedule a technician based on how hard the problem is hitting your business.
Your staff call or open a ticket and reach a Montana team. Password, email, printer, and software problems are handled over a remote session without anyone driving anywhere.
Each location reports in around the clock, so a failing drive in Hardin shows up on our screens the same way a problem in a downtown Billings office does.
Hardware swaps, cabling, phone installs, and camera work go on the schedule by how much the problem is costing you. A site that is down outranks a printer that is slow.
Managed clients have documented response targets in their service agreement, so you know what to expect before you sign. Urgent issues go straight to 406-505-5061.
IT, phones, security, and cabling from one vendor
Full-service technology under one roof. One vendor and one number to call when something needs attention, whether the problem is in your main Billings office or at a branch down I-90.
Managed IT for Billings offices and branches
Network management, proactive monitoring, help desk support, Microsoft 365 administration, cloud migrations, and data backup for Billings businesses. Every workstation and server is patched and watched on the same schedule, so the Laurel branch is never two updates behind the main office.
UNIFI360 cloud voice for every site
VoIP, UCaaS, and contact center voice on UNIFI360, with mobile apps so calls follow staff out of the building and AI Call Recap, AI Assistant, and AI Receptionist when you want them. Still on an NEC or AVAYA system? We plan the move to hosted UNIFI360 voice and stage it before go-live.
Security for regulated and remote operations
Multi-factor authentication, email protection, endpoint security, and threat detection for healthcare, energy, financial, and agricultural operations around Billings.
Cabling, cameras, and door access
Structured cabling, fiber, business surveillance, and door access control for Billings office buildouts, shops, yards, and field operations.
One network across every location
Firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, and site-to-site connections managed as a single network, so each branch follows the same rules and shows up in the same monitoring.
What happens when one of your sites has a problem
Pick a situation. The diagram lights up the sites involved, and the steps show how Granite Tech handles it for an example Billings business with branches in Laurel, Lockwood, Red Lodge, and Hardin. Your sites and services will look different; the approach does not.
- 1Monitoring flags itThe branch firewall stops checking in, and the alert reaches our team without anyone in Red Lodge having to call.
- 2Calls follow the routing planUNIFI360 lives in the cloud, so calls to the branch can ring Billings or staff mobile apps while the line is down.
- 3We work the outageOur help desk works the problem with your internet provider. If the cause is your equipment, a technician is scheduled to swap it.
- 1You send one requestName, role, and start date. We work from the same documented onboarding checklist for every site.
- 2Accounts and extension are readyA Microsoft 365 account, the right security groups, and a UNIFI360 extension on the same system as everyone else, so transfers between Hardin and Billings work like transfers down the hall.
- 3The laptop arrives managedWorkstation Management, endpoint security, and security awareness training are set up as part of onboarding, not added later.
- 1Filtering catches most of itEmail security screens messages before they reach inboxes at every site, using the same rules everywhere.
- 2Endpoint protection contains the restIf someone clicks, endpoint security on that machine flags the behavior, and threat detection gives our team what it needs to isolate the device before it reaches the other sites.
- 3Everyone learns from itSecurity awareness training and one set of policies apply at every location, so staff in Laurel and Hardin learn from what nearly happened in Lockwood.
- 1Walk-through and written planWe scope cabling, network gear, phones, cameras, and door access together, then send a proposal with scope, pricing, and timelines.
- 2Build, then testOur crew runs voice and data cabling and installs the network, then stages, checks, tests, and validates the setup before go-live.
- 3Same system, new siteThe Laurel phones join your existing UNIFI360 system, and the new site goes into the same monitoring as the rest of your locations.
Phones are usually the first thing a multi-site business notices. See how enterprise VoIP keeps every location on one phone system.
Hosted business phones for Billings organizations
Granite Tech moves Billings businesses off aging on-premise PBX equipment and onto hosted UNIFI360 voice. From healthcare offices and manufacturers to energy teams and agriculture-driven operations, many Billings organizations still rely on older phone infrastructure while they plan an upgrade. We look at what you run today and lay out a clear path forward.
Phones are where this company started. Granite began as Montana Phone in 2003, so an NEC cabinet in a back room or a bank of analog lines is familiar ground. Our VoIP phone system moves cover:
- A review of the NEC, AVAYA, or analog setup at each Billings-area site
- Call flows mapped and UNIFI360 priced per phone or seat
- Numbers, routing, and handsets staged and tested before go-live
- Cutover to cloud-based UNIFI360 voice one site at a time or all at once
We look at the phones, lines, and system you own today, on site or remote, so the plan starts from facts.
Count phones and seats at each site, map call flows, and price UNIFI360 per phone or seat against what the old system costs to keep alive.
Numbers, routing, and handsets are staged and tested before go-live, one site at a time or all at once.
Calls keep coming in during the move, and your numbers come with you.
Billings and the towns along I-90 and US 212
We cover Billings from downtown and the hospital corridor out King Avenue to the West End and up to the Heights, plus the four communities below. Remote support reaches all of them the same way, and on-site visits are scheduled by business impact.
Downtown offices, medical practices near the hospitals, and retail and service businesses on the West End and in the Heights.
Branch offices, shops, and yards. Where a shop sits more than 100 meters from the office, we run fiber instead of copper.
East-side businesses near the I-90 and I-94 split, close enough to share one network and phone system with a Billings office.
Staff counts that swing with the Beartooth Highway season. Voice is priced per phone or seat, so the system fits the people you have.
Far enough out that remote support and 24/7 monitoring carry most of the load, with on-site visits planned around the drive.

No. Billings is a Granite Tech service area, not an office location. Support runs through our remote help desk and 24/7 monitoring, and technicians come on site for hardware, cabling, phone, and camera work. Our nearest office is in Bozeman at 201 Evergreen Dr., Suite A.
Yes. Granite Tech supports Billings businesses with both remote and on-site service, depending on the need and how urgent it is. Most issues are handled remotely, and technicians are sent on site for hardware, cabling, and physical infrastructure work, prioritized by business impact and your service agreement.
Yes. Multi-location network management, cloud services, and unified business phone systems are core specialties for distributed teams. Every site gets the same monitoring, the same security policies, and one UNIFI360 phone system, so a branch in Hardin or Red Lodge runs the same way as the main office in Billings.
Yes. We review the NEC, AVAYA, or analog system you have now, map your call flows, and move your numbers to hosted UNIFI360 voice, staged and tested before go-live, one site at a time or all at once.
It depends on team size, the number of sites, and the services you need. Managed IT is priced per user, voice per phone or seat, and cabling is scoped per project. A 30 to 45 minute discovery call gives us enough to write a proposal with clear scope, pricing, and timelines.
