A branch opening in Lisbon needs the same network standard as headquarters from day one. In 2023, Beqom, an international technology company founded in Switzerland in 2009, entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the entire network infrastructure of its new office in Lisbon: certified structured cabling, a rack, Wi-Fi 6 with a centralised controller, Layer 3 PoE switches and a corporate firewall. The project then moved under management in an IT Unlimited contract covering around 60 workstations.

  • Sector Technology
  • Year 2023

Who Beqom are

Beqom helps large international companies improve the performance and motivation of their employees, with fair, transparent and integrated compensation models. A technology company with this profile expects its Lisbon infrastructure to meet the same standard it finds at head office, and chose a partner with know-how in networks and critical infrastructure to guarantee it.

The network infrastructure installed

  1. Certified structured cabling: multiple network points, labelled and certified at the end.
  2. Rack: installed to house all the network equipment.
  3. Wi-Fi 6: access points with a centralised controller.
  4. Switching: high-performance Layer 3 PoE switches.
  5. Corporate firewall: installed, configured and optimised.

The result is a scalable network, ready for the daily work of a growing technology team.

After installation: IT Unlimited managed services

Beqom was not left with a network delivered and forgotten. It joined IT Unlimited, DataRoad's managed service, with remote, telephone and on-site cover:

  • Ongoing support By email, telephone or on site, with immediate response.
  • Monitoring and alerting Systems are watched and faults detected early.
  • Preventive management The infrastructure is maintained before it causes problems.
  • Specialist service desk A single point for all requests from the 60 users.

The Beqom team gains operational continuity and productivity, without having to manage IT internally.
