Providing Tech Solutions Since 2004
Our Story
Communication Resources started in Missoula, MT in March of 2004. Like many small businesses, it began with a desk in the basement of a home and couple shelves in the garage. Our mission has always been helping small businesses, commercial, industrial clients, and government entities obtain telecommunication, security, and life safety system goals. Accomplished by providing connectivity, solutions, and peace of mind in the ever-evolving world of technology.
With a vision of being the first choice for premier technology solutions for customers throughout the inland northwest, we have grown since our early days and have no intentions of slowing down. With various employees throughout the state, including Missoula, Great Falls, Butte, Helena, and Plains, we are able to service the majority of Montana and continue to grow.
By providing a wide range of service, network installation and repair, technology additions, IT help, security and life safety items, design, and so much more, we’re able to assist in whatever needs you see your business needing.
