DataRoad Landing — Turnkey IT infrastructure for companies opening operations in Portugal

Open your office in Portugal. The technology is already working when your team arrives.

Setting up a new operation in an unfamiliar country is difficult. Finding the right technology partner shouldn't be. DataRoad takes care of all the IT infrastructure for your new office in Portugal — from the first cable to ongoing support — so your team arrives to a workspace ready for work from day one.

A single point of contact. Coordinated with your headquarters. Operational in days, not months.

The challenge for anyone entering Portugal

When an international company opens a subsidiary, a service centre or a new office in Portugal, it always encounters the same obstacles: unfamiliar telecoms operators with long installation lead times, local suppliers that are difficult to evaluate, equipment to purchase and configure, head office security policies to replicate, GDPR compliance to guarantee — and the pressure to have everything up and running before the team starts.

Most local providers cannot meet this level of demand. Large integrators treat these projects as too small. DataRoad was built precisely for this space: the speed and care of a local partner, with the capability to serve multinational and multi-country operations.

How the DataRoad Landing service works

Phase 1 — Prior to arrival: design and planning

We work with your IT team, in English and aligned with your headquarters' standards, to gather requirements, design the solution, and define the budget and schedule. We anticipate the lead times for provisioning internet circuits with national operators — the main cause of delays in an opening — and take care of all the local technical coordination that your team has no way of knowing.

Phase 2 — Construction: the complete infrastructure

We assemble everything the office needs to operate:

• Certified structured cabling and organised racks
• Enterprise network, firewall and segmentation
• High-performance enterprise Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7)
• Internet circuits with redundancy
• IP telephony (IP PBX switchboard)
• CCTV and access control
• Meeting rooms and audiovisual solutions
• Servers or cloud environment
• Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — new or integrated into the company's global tenant
• Provisioning and configuration of Windows and Mac workstations
• Security baseline aligned with your organisation's policy

Phase 3 — Go-live: the first day without hitches

We set up the users, we are present at startup to support the team during the first few days and we hand over the documented operation. Your people sit down and work — no improvisation.

Phase 4 — Continuous operation: IT Unlimited

From go-live, your office is covered by our IT Unlimited service: unlimited support at a fixed cost, 24/7 monitoring, a single point of contact, coordination with your head office and regular reporting. We support your growth in Portugal and abroad.

The DataRoad Landing Promise

We commit to a date. Once the scope is defined and access to the space is guaranteed, we deliver the operational office within an agreed timeframe in writing. It is a commitment we make because we have already fulfilled it, time and again, for companies that cannot afford to fail at launch.

Why international companies choose DataRoad

• A single point of contact. Instead of coordinating telecoms, cabling, hardware, security and support with different suppliers, you have a single point of contact who is accountable for everything.
• Alignment with its head office. English service and infrastructure designed to comply with your organisation's global IT and security policies.
• Multi-country capability. We already support international groups with offices distributed across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East. The operation in Portugal is integrated into their global reality.
• National presence. Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Évora, Setúbal and Beja — local support wherever you open.
• References that speak for themselves. Embassies, multinationals, hotels and international groups entrust DataRoad with their critical infrastructure.

Who is it for

The DataRoad Landing service is designed for multinationals opening a subsidiary or service centre in Portugal, scale-ups expanding into Iberia, foreign-owned hotel groups and clinics, international property developers and diplomatic missions — any organisation that needs to be operational quickly, with enterprise-grade reliability and a single trusted partner.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you have the office operational? It depends on the scope and, above all, on the timeframes for the installation of internet circuits by the operators. That is why we start this process early, during the planning phase. Once the scope is defined and access to the space is guaranteed, we commit to a delivery date in writing.

Do you work in English and coordinate with our global IT team? Yes. We provide service in English and design the infrastructure to comply with your headquarters' IT and security policies, integrating it with your global systems whenever necessary.

Do you also take care of purchasing the equipment? Yes. We handle the provisioning, configuration and installation of all equipment — network, servers, Windows and Mac workstations, telephony and more.

What happens after the opening? The operation transfers to our IT Unlimited contract: unlimited support at a fixed cost, 24/7 monitoring and continuous management, with no lock-in period.

Do you support operations outside Lisbon? Yes. DataRoad operates in Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Évora, Setúbal and Beja, and supports clients with offices in other countries.
