DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting audited the whole IT estate of France Affiches in Paris and deployed a redundant network at the Antony, Wissous and Lisbon sites, in a project completed on 13 November 2026. France Affiches is a large-format printer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Antony, near Paris, and it chose a Portuguese company for its IT. This is how it was done.
The challenge: IT for an international group, across two countries, with no room for downtime
France Affiches produces advertising posters, point-of-sale material and signage for agencies and advertisers. It operates 4 locations in 3 countries (France, Portugal and Spain) and relies on its network and systems to keep presses, print files and orders moving.
Before deciding where to invest, the group wanted a rigorous view of the state of its network and systems, and a single partner accountable for the Antony, Wissous (Paris area) and Vialonga (Lisbon) sites. For a printer, an IT outage is a production outage.
The solution: audit in Paris, redundant network and ongoing support
DataRoad sent its team to Paris and carried out a complete IT audit of the network and systems, handled directly with the headquarters in France. The report was delivered in French, with the diagnosis and recommendations.
The rollout followed. At Antony and Wissous the network now has two gateways in high availability, with fibre and 5G on separate devices, both connected to the two gateways: the failure of a device or a carrier does not stop the site. In Lisbon the network follows the same standard, with one gateway and 5G connected directly.
Ongoing support was designed around IT Unlimited Premium 365, with monitoring and remote support also at night, at weekends and on public holidays, on-site assistance in Lisbon and planned visits to Paris. For hands-on tasks at the Paris sites, the client’s internal contact is guided by the team over video call.
The result: audit delivered, network deployed and 3 sites under management
The project was completed on 13 November 2026, with a successful rollout. France Affiches now has a single network standard, real redundancy and a partner with immediate response for the three sites DataRoad manages.
- Complete IT audit, with the report in French.
- Redundant network, with fibre and 5G on separate devices.
- 3 managed sites in 2 countries, around 30 workstations.
- A single IT partner, based in Lisbon and working in Paris.
