No-commitment proposal. # IT partner for opening an office or subsidiary in Portugal At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 One IT partner in Portugal for network, security, workstations, telephony and support. - 02 Work in English, following the parent company's policies and reporting format. - 03 A written delivery date as soon as the scope and access to the premises are confirmed. - 04 After opening, ongoing management under IT Unlimited; 24/7 only on Premium 365. **A newly hired team arriving at an office with no network is being paid without producing, and every week of delay weighs on the relationship with head office. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, one of the reference names in Portugal for IT for international companies, sets up network, security, workstations and communications before people arrive, commits to a written delivery date and stays on to manage the office once it opens, as your single IT partner in the country.** Headquartered in Alfragide with support across the whole country, English-speaking contacts and reporting in the parent company's format, for groups headquartered in Europe, the US or other markets. ## Why do so many openings in Portugal slip? The subsidiary has a start date and a policy handbook from the parent company. On this side, each supplier handles only its own part: one the network, another the computers, another the telephony. Coordination falls to someone in another time zone who does not know the local carriers or lead times. What head offices are looking for is rarely a technology. It is one person in Portugal who meets dates and leaves everything documented. ## What does head office gain from a single partner in Portugal? - **A single voice in Portugal** Accountable for the whole project and fluent in head office's technical language. - **Your rules, applied here** Group security policies implemented and documented locally. - **Reporting in your format** Periodic reports and inventory as head office wants to read them. - **From zero to operation** From the first network outlet to day-to-day management. ## How do we get from floor plan to the first working day? - **Remote planning**: sessions in English with global IT to finalise design and requirements. We order the internet connections immediately, as they are always the longest lead time. - **Technical works**: racks and certified cabling, firewall with segmentation, Wi-Fi 6/7, redundant internet connections, IP PBX, CCTV and access control, equipped meeting rooms, servers or cloud, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Windows and Mac prepared and a security baseline identical to the group's. - **Opening**: accounts created and engineers on site on launch day. Nobody sits waiting. - **Management**: the office moves onto [IT Unlimited](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-it-services/), with a fixed monthly fee and continuous follow-up. Those who need full coverage choose Premium 365, the only plan with 24/7 support and monitoring. Once scope is closed and the premises are accessible, we sign off the handover date. ## Which services does the same contract cover? - **[Local IT department](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-it-department-portugal/)** A single contact for head office, inventory and reports to the group standard. - **[IT Unlimited Premium](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-unlimited-premium-on-site-support/)** A fixed monthly fee and unlimited on-site support, call-outs included. - **[Network infrastructure and structured cabling](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/structured-cabling-installation/)** Survey before the works, Layer 3 switching and PoE, phones and Wi-Fi in the same project. - **[Business Wi-Fi 6 and 7](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/business-wifi-installation/)** Coverage survey and centralised management, with networks by profile. - **[Managed firewalls](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-firewall-services-portugal/)** Segmentation, managed antivirus and secure remote access. - **[Servers, cloud and backups](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-backup-services-portugal/)** NAS, Microsoft 365 and tested restores. - **[IP telephony and CCTV](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-ip-pbx-portugal/)** IP phone systems and GDPR-compliant video surveillance. Remote backups and protection of workstations and servers are active from day one. Office moves are carried out outside business hours, by engineers certified by the leading manufacturers. ## Why do groups with a presence in several countries choose DataRoad? - **Concentrated accountability** One partner instead of five suppliers for telecoms, cabling, hardware, security and support. - **Fluency with head office** Communication in English and an architecture designed for global policies. - **International experience** We already support groups with offices in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. - **The same team before and after** Those who designed and built it are those who run it. Chosen by respected and international companies ★★★★★ 5,0 · 52 Google reviews ★★★★★ 5,0 · 52 Google reviews ## What does head office receive during and after the project? During the build: a dated plan, regular status updates in English and documentation of every element installed. After opening: periodic reports, inventory to the group standard and local confirmation that global policies are in force. For those working in the office, the experience comes down to this: walk in, plug in the laptop and work. If something fails, there is someone on site. ## Which organisations was it designed for? Multinationals setting up a subsidiary, groups consolidating their Iberian operation, companies moving premises and representative offices with a fixed opening date. ## On what contractual terms do we work? This service exists only within an IT Unlimited contract: annual, automatic renewal and no lock-in. DataRoad does not do one-off jobs or sell standalone equipment. It takes responsibility for the entire environment. ## Questions from head office before signing ### How long does it take to get the office up and running? It depends on the scope and, above all, on the carriers' lead time for internet circuits, which we order during planning. As soon as the scope is closed and access to the premises is secured, the delivery date is put in writing. On opening day, accounts are created and technicians are on site. ### Does your team work in English with our global IT? Yes, all communication with head office is in English: planning sessions, status updates, documentation and reports. The infrastructure integrates with the group's systems and follows the parent company's security policies, implemented and documented locally, with inventory in the format head office defines. ### How much does it cost to manage the office after opening? Ongoing management starts from €395 per month + VAT on Essential, from €750 on Premium and from €1,200 on Premium 365. For subsidiary offices we recommend Premium, with unlimited on-site support and travel included. The cost of the initial set-up depends on the area and the type of client, with scope, equipment and delivery date fixed. ### Do you also handle equipment procurement? Yes, as part of the project: procurement, configuration and installation of network, servers, Windows and Mac workstations, telephony and other equipment. DataRoad does not sell stand-alone equipment. We supply it within a project that we then manage under an IT Unlimited contract, so we answer for everything we installed. ### What happens the day after opening? The office is managed under IT Unlimited, with a fixed monthly fee, remote, on-site and telephone support and periodic reports to head office. The same team that designed and built the infrastructure operates it. 24/7 support and monitoring, including nights, weekends and public holidays, exist only on Premium 365. ### Why DataRoad rather than five local suppliers? Because one partner answers for the whole project and head office no longer has to coordinate carriers, cabling, hardware, security and support from a distance. DataRoad has 11 years in business, 232 clients, a Top 5% SME distinction (source: scoring.pt) and a 5.0 rating from 52 Google reviews, and manages the Portuguese office of groups such as Reltio by SAP. ## Next step: tell us your opening date A new office, a move or just a second opinion on the planned infrastructure: an engineer replies the same day, with a no-commitment proposal.
