DataRoad Landing — Turnkey IT infrastructure for companies setting up operations in Portugal

Set up your office in Portugal. The technology will already be up and running by the time 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 in a space ready to work from day one.

A single point of contact. Coordinated with your head office. Up and running in days, not months.

The challenge of who is moving to Portugal

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

Most local providers cannot meet this level of requirement. Large integrators consider these projects 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 does the DataRoad Landing service work?

Phase 1 — Before arrival: design and planning

We work with your IT team, in English and in line with your head office’s standards, to gather requirements, design the solution, and set the budget and timetable. We anticipate the lead times for provisioning internet connections with national operators — the main factor causing delays in a site’s launch — and manage all the local technical coordination that your team has no way of being aware of.

Phase 2 — Construction: the complete infrastructure

We set up everything the office needs to run:

• Certified structured cabling and organised racks
• Corporate network, firewall and segmentation
• High-performance enterprise Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7)
• Internet circuits with redundancy
• IP Telephony (IP PBX system)
• 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: a smooth first day

We set up the users, we are there at launch to support the team during the first few days, and we deliver a documented operation. Your employees sit down and work — without any 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 a timeframe agreed in writing. This is a commitment we make because we have already kept it, time and time again, for companies that cannot afford to fail at launch.

Why international businesses choose DataRoad

• A single person in charge. 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 your head office. English-language service and infrastructure designed to comply with your organisation's global IT and security policies.
• Multi-country capability. We already provide support to international groups with offices spread across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. The operation in Portugal integrates seamlessly into your global reality.
• National presence. Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Évora, Setúbal and Beja — local support wherever you open up.
• References that speak for themselves. Embassies, multinationals, hotels and international groups entrust DataRoad with their critical infrastructure.

For whom

The DataRoad Landing service is aimed at multinationals opening a subsidiary or service centre in Portugal, scale-ups expanding into the Iberian Peninsula, foreign-backed hotel and clinic groups, international real estate 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 soon can the office be up and running? This depends on the scope and, above all, the timeframes for the installation of internet circuits by the operators. That is why we are launching this process early, right from the planning phase. Once the scope is defined and access to the space is guaranteed, we make a written commitment to a delivery date.

Do you work in English and coordinate with our global IT team? Yes. We provide the 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 handle the purchase of the equipment? Yes. We manage the procurement, configuration and installation of all equipment — network, servers, Windows and Mac workstations, telephony and more.

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

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