In 2023, DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting once again achieved an “Excellent” rating on the Financial Performance and Soundness Index (IDS), using the ScorePME method, for the second year running. The rating places the company in Portugal’s Top 5% PME, a distinction awarded by scoring.pt and reserved for organisations with elite economic and financial performance. ## What the distinction means - **Rating** IDS “Excellent”, ScorePME method. - **Result** Top 5% PME in Portugal (source: scoring.pt). - **Consistency** Second year running. - **What it proves** Financial strength, operational stability and sustained growth. ## Why an MSP’s financial soundness matters to the client Handing your IT infrastructure to a partner is a decision that spans several years. Whoever manages a company’s network, servers, backups and security has to be there tomorrow, with the team, tools and capacity to invest. Financial soundness is therefore an operational guarantee, not just a number on a balance sheet. For the 232 clients who work with DataRoad under contract, the distinction confirms that the partner they have entrusted with their IT is stable and growing. ## What DataRoad manages for its clients As a Managed Service Provider, DataRoad takes on the ongoing management of each client’s systems: - **NOC and monitoring** Oversight of infrastructure, with 24/7 coverage on the Premium 365 plan. - **Alerting** Early detection of faults before they halt operations. - **Reporting** System availability reports. - **Preventive maintenance** Intervention before the problem. - **Unlimited technical response** Immediate response times, with no per-request billing.
