What Five Star Technology Group does

Five Star Technology Group is a privately held, founder-owned IT/telecom consulting firm founded in 2016 by Michael Biase, a former AT&T enterprise sales executive. The company is headquartered in Wayne (also referenced as Wyckoff), New Jersey, with operations across at least eight U.S. states spanning the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, West, and Midwest. Its core business is delivering consultative and managed services on top of the AT&T Alliance Channel — it holds AT&T Platinum Provider status, the highest tier in the channel, and is a FirstNet Dealer authorized to sell into the public-safety market.

The company's service portfolio consists of seven core offerings: Mobility Consulting, Wireline Consulting, Service Management, Project Management, Professional Deployment Services, Order Processing, and Equipment Buyback. Together these span the full lifecycle of an enterprise's AT&T-sourced connectivity — from strategy and RFP support through deployment and kitting to ongoing service management, transaction processing, and end-of-life asset monetization. The underlying technology layer is AT&T's connectivity portfolio (Dedicated Internet, Private Line, MPLS, SD-WAN, voice, security, FirstNet) augmented by a hardware partner ecosystem that includes Samsung, Inseego, BEC Technologies, MultiTech, Cel-Fi, and AccessMyLan for IoT, routers, and signal-boosting.

Commercially, Five Star generates revenue through enterprise consulting engagements, professional services fees tied to deployment and project management, recurring managed services for account stewardship, transaction fees on order processing, and buyback monetization on legacy devices. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 companies and public-sector organizations, supplemented by AT&T-led referrals through the Alliance Channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around custom multi-year engagements. The team is staffed primarily by ex-AT&T professionals, with senior leadership comprising the two founders (CEO/COO) and a bench of directors and account executives, supporting a stated headcount band of 11-50 employees. The company has earned consecutive AT&T Platinum designations (2020-2023) and Inc. Best Workplaces recognition (2022, 2024), and ranked 24th on the 2021 Inc. 5000 Regionals NY Metro list.
