For decision-makers short on time.
DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting is the IT partner in Portugal for subsidiaries of multinationals: it opens the office on the planned date, applies and evidences group policies, reports in English and runs operations for a fixed monthly fee.
A subsidiary that opens two weeks late, or fails the group's security audit, costs money and credibility with head office. With DataRoad, head office deals with a single point of contact and the subsidiary works without worrying about technology. Headquartered in Alfragide, with support across Portugal and for companies in Europe and the US.
Because the technical expertise already exists at head office; what is missing is local execution. A Lisbon office with twelve people, none of them in IT, receives requirements written in another country, in another language and another time zone. The real work is bridging that gap.
We are almost always called in with the opening date already set. The internet line is what takes longest to arrive, so it is the first thing we order.
Encrypted disks, centralised identities, MFA, VPN tunnels and log retention are decided by the group. In Portugal, someone has to make them work and prove that they do.
Some in the office, others at home, calls with three continents on the same day. Reliable video conferencing and protected remote access become as critical as electricity.
Remote management handles most requests. But when a switch dies, you need an engineer at the door with the replacement unit.
| Area | DataRoad delivers |
|---|---|
| Complete office fit-out | Certified network and structured cabling, rack, business wireless network, firewall and ready-to-use computers. |
| Collaboration and identities | Microsoft 365 and cloud: migration of mailboxes and documents, licences, MFA and conditional access. |
| Operated security | Managed firewalls, centrally managed antivirus, VPN and rules matching the group's. |
| Internet connections | Negotiation and management of operators, with redundancy and satellite where there is no fibre. |
| Ongoing management | IT Unlimited Premium for a fixed fee, with SLAs set in writing and regular reports. |
Head office is not looking for a product. It is looking for someone in Portugal who answers in English, meets the agreed deadlines and leaves a record of every intervention.
From €395/month + VAT. A subsidiary approves its budget once a year and has to justify it to head office; variable invoices turn every troubled month into an uncomfortable meeting. That is why most of the subsidiaries we serve opt for a fixed fee with a defined scope.
The exact figure comes from the initial diagnosis.
With documentation, not promises. Cabling is done in CAT6 or CAT6A according to the group's internal specification, with consistent labelling, a rack diagram and a certification report for every point. That report is what corporate IT requires before signing off the installation.
On Wi-Fi, we reproduce the corporate SSIDs and rules: individual authentication, seamless roaming between access points and an isolated visitor network. Anyone arriving from another group office connects automatically. Coverage is measured on site, starting with meeting rooms and video call spaces.
In an audit, what counts is what is documented. We always deliver labelling, a rack diagram and certification, carried out by our own team and with a bilingual point of contact.

Yes. Reports, technical documentation and contact with international IT teams are handled in English whenever that is the group's working language. The subsidiary keeps support in Portuguese, and head office receives information in the format it asks for, with no intermediate translation and no detail lost between Portugal and corporate IT.
For the most part, yes. Before implementing them, we set out in writing what applies as is, what needs adapting to Portuguese conditions and what has no local application. Afterwards, the evidence is documented in Portuguese and English, ready for the group audit. In 11 years, DataRoad has never suffered a security incident.
Three to six weeks for the technical side, in parallel with the building works. What most affects the timeline is, almost always, the carrier's internet installation, which is why it is the first thing we order. Network, Wi-Fi and workstations are tested and certified before the team arrives, so the subsidiary opens on the planned day.
By preparing inventory, credentials and documentation before the previous provider leaves. DataRoad collects this information during the handover, so there is never a moment when nobody knows where the access rights, licences or equipment are. Operations continue without interruption and support passes to our team on the agreed day.
