Why that counts for an MSP. No-obligation proposal. # Prompt Payment Commitment: why it matters when choosing an MSP At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 DataRoad is a recognised member of the Prompt Payment Commitment and received the official certificate. - 02 According to Informa D&B, 84% of Portuguese companies miss payment deadlines. - 03 The CPP has more than 2000 members and is backed by ACEGE, IAPMEI, CIP, CGD, OCC and others. - 04 A financially sound MSP is a condition for continuity for anyone entrusting it with their IT. ### In this article When you hand your network, servers and data to an external partner, the question is not just "do they know how?". It is also "will they still be here in five years?". DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting has become a recognised member of the **Compromisso Pagamento Pontual** (CPP, Portugal's Prompt Payment Commitment) and has received the official membership certificate. It is external proof of sound management and financial strength, in a market where most companies pay late. ## Why does paying on time matter to those buying IT? Because a supplier with its finances in order buys parts on time, keeps its team and delivers what it signs. The figures show this is not the norm: according to **Informa D&B**, 84% of Portuguese companies do not meet payment deadlines. The whole chain suffers: liquidity dries up, investments stall, partners are lost. The CPP exists to reverse this trend. It encourages organisations to honour their commitments to suppliers and to build relationships based on ethics and responsibility. ## Who promotes the Prompt Payment Commitment? A group of institutions at the heart of the Portuguese economy: - **ACEGE** The Christian association of business owners and managers; - **IAPMEI** The public agency for competitiveness and innovation; - **CIP** The business confederation; - **APIFARMA** The pharmaceutical industry association; - **Caixa Geral de Depósitos**; - **OCC** The order of certified accountants; - **Informa D&B**. More than 2000 companies and organisations across the country have already joined, feeding a cycle of trust, stability and sustainability between clients and suppliers. ## What do DataRoad's clients gain from this? - **Continuity** A financially balanced MSP does not disappear halfway through a contract. - **Stable suppliers** Manufacturers and distributors paid on time mean equipment delivered when it is needed. - **External scrutiny** Sound management is no longer just our claim, but recognised by third parties. The same logic explains the **Top 5% PME** certification, awarded by scoring.pt on the basis of financial strength. ## Who is DataRoad?
