Dozens of users online at once, students, faculty and administration on separate networks, and support in Portuguese and English at Forward College's Lisbon campus.
More than 10 workstations · support contract · remote, on-site and phone support
For decision-makers short on time.
DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting runs the network, Wi-Fi and support at Forward College's Lisbon campus, so that classes and online exams run without failures every teaching day. Forward College is a European higher-education institution with students of many nationalities, and chose DataRoad as its IT partner in Portugal.
On an international campus, a network outage is not a technical nuisance: it is an interrupted class or a compromised exam. Dozens of students and faculty connect at the same time, classes and assessments run online, and the academic calendar does not wait for repairs.
The institution also needed to keep student, faculty and administrative access separate, and support able to serve a community that speaks Portuguese and English.
Services involved: enterprise Wi-Fi · structured cabling · IT Unlimited Premium.
The Lisbon campus runs on a network where technology works every teaching day, for students of many nationalities. Each user group has its own network, and the institution has a single partner accountable for the infrastructure and for supporting its people.
Because DataRoad is accountable for the whole solution: network, Wi-Fi, cabling and support, delivered by the same team. The IT Unlimited Premium contract includes unlimited on-site assistance, and support is given in each user's language.
Yes. At Forward College's campus, remote and on-site assistance is provided in Portuguese and English, so students, faculty and international staff are supported without intermediaries.
Because segmentation protects administrative systems and limits the impact of any problematic device. Each group has its own network, and a problem on one does not affect the others.
Forward College is on IT Unlimited Premium, which includes unlimited on-site assistance as well as remote and telephone support, for a fixed monthly fee.
We assess your organisation and propose a solution matched to its size, technical requirements and expected growth. Request a no-obligation technical assessment.
