DataRoad Landing — Turnkey IT infrastructure for companies setting up operations in Portugal

Abra o seu escritório em Portugal. A tecnologia já está a funcionar quando a sua equipa chega.

Setting up a new operation in a country you don’t know is hard. Finding the right technology partner shouldn’t be. DataRoad takes care of the entire IT infrastructure of your new office in Portugal — from the first cable to permanent support — so your team walks into a space that is ready to work from day one.

A single point of accountability. Coordinated with your headquarters. Operational in days, not months.

The challenge of entering Portugal

When an international company opens a subsidiary, a service centre or a new office in Portugal, it always runs into the same obstacles: unfamiliar telecom operators with long installation lead times, local vendors that are hard to evaluate, equipment to procure and configure, headquarters security policies to replicate, GDPR compliance to guarantee — and the pressure of having everything working before the team starts.

Most local providers are unable to meet this level of demand. The large integrators regard these projects as too small. DataRoad was set up specifically to address this need: it combines the speed and attention to detail of a close partner with the capability to support multinational and multi-country operations.

How the DataRoad Landing service works

Phase 1 — Before arrival: design and planning

We work with your IT team, in English and in line with your head office’s standards, to gather requirements, design the solution, and set the budget and timeline. We begin the process of arranging internet connections with the national operators at an early stage — the main factor causing delays in any new office opening — and handle all the local technical coordination that your team would otherwise have no way of knowing about.

Phase 2 — Build: the complete infrastructure

We install everything the office needs to operate:

• Certified structured cabling and organised racks
• Business network, firewall and segmentation
• High-performance business Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7)
• Internet circuits with redundancy
• IP telephony (IP PBX)
• CCTV and access control
• Meeting rooms and audiovisual solutions
• Servers or cloud environment
• Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — new or integrated into the company’s global tenant
• Provisioning and configuration of Windows and Mac workstations
• A security baseline aligned with your organisation’s policy

Phase 3 — Go-live: a first day without surprises

We configure the users, we are on site at launch to support the team in the first days, and we hand over a documented operation. Your people sit down and work — no improvisation.

Phase 4 — Ongoing operation: IT Unlimited

From go-live, your office is covered by our IT Unlimited service: unlimited support at a fixed cost, 24/7 monitoring, a single point of contact, coordination with your head office and regular reporting. We support your growth in Portugal and abroad.

The DataRoad Landing promise

We commit to a date. Once the scope is defined and access to the space is guaranteed, we deliver the operational office within a deadline agreed in writing. It is a commitment we make because we have already kept it, time after time, for companies that cannot fail at launch.

Why international companies choose DataRoad

• A single point of accountability. Instead of coordinating telecoms, cabling, hardware, security and support with different vendors, you have one contact who answers for everything.
• Alignment with your headquarters. Service in English and infrastructure designed to comply with your organisation’s global IT and security policies.
• Multi-country capability. We already support international groups with offices across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Your Portugal operation is integrated into your global reality.
• Nationwide presence. Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Évora, Setúbal and Beja — local support wherever you open.
• References that speak for themselves. Embassies, multinationals, hotels and international groups trust DataRoad with their critical infrastructure.

Who it is for

The DataRoad Landing service is designed for multinationals opening a subsidiary or service centre in Portugal, scale-ups expanding into Iberia, foreign-owned hotel groups and clinics, international real-estate developers and diplomatic missions — any organisation that needs to be operational fast, with enterprise-grade reliability and a single trusted partner.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you have the office operational? It depends on the scope and, above all, on the internet circuit installation lead times of the operators. That is why we start that process early, in the planning phase. Once the scope is defined and access to the space is guaranteed, we commit to a delivery date in writing.

Do you work in English and coordinate with our global IT team? Yes. We provide service in English and design the infrastructure to comply with your headquarters’ IT and security policies, integrating it with your global systems whenever needed.

Do you also handle equipment procurement? Yes. We handle the procurement, configuration and installation of all equipment — network, servers, Windows and Mac workstations, telephony and more.

What happens after the opening? The operation transitions to our IT Unlimited contract: unlimited support at a fixed cost, 24/7 monitoring and continuous management, with no lock-in.

Do you support operations outside Lisbon? Yes. DataRoad operates in Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, Évora, Setúbal and Beja, and supports clients with offices in other countries.
