There is a type of client that does not choose an IT supplier by price: they choose by who responds when the system goes down, who signs what they promise, and who manages to pass a security audit carried out in another country. In Portugal, that client increasingly has a name — prestigious international companies, international organisations and embassies — and is a core part of the DataRoad portfolio.
This article is not a statement of intent. They are projects that are published on our website, with name and scope.
Diplomatic sector and public bodies
- Embassy of Korea computer network design.
- Consulate of Brazil in Lisbon - installation of the network and computer cabling.
- DCIAP - modernisation of structured network and fibre optics, with installation and certification.
- Social Services in the Public Sector (SSAP) — several interventions, including the certification of 456 network points and three cabinets.
- Montijo Town Council - biometric control for data centre access.
- Massamá and Monte Abraão — new network and Wi-Fi in six public spaces.
What these projects have in common is not their scale — it is the level of documentary requirement. End-to-end certified network, reports delivered, controlled access and confidentiality treated as a requirement, not as goodwill.
International companies operating in Portugal
- Mitrelli Group — international group.
- Harlan & Poston Group — international group.
- ReStream — US company operating in Portugal.
- Forward College - educational project linked to the University of London, in Lisbon.
- beQom - new office in Lisbon, set up from scratch.
- Klass Wagen, Infocapital, PTR Pharma Consulting, UpHill Health, Magnelusa e Boost Portugal — mobility, distribution, pharmaceutical, health tech, industry and services.
Can you see everyone in success stories.
Why do these organisations choose a partner like DataRoad
When we ask, the answers repeat themselves:
A single interlocutor, in Portugal
Instead of coordinating operators, cabling, hardware, security and support with different suppliers — and in different time zones — head office has one person in charge who accounts for everything. It is the difference between managing five contracts and managing one.
English-language service and alignment with headquarters
The infrastructure is designed to comply with the organisation's global IT and security policies, not ours. And as of today the website itself speaks English, Spanish, French and German, as well as Portuguese.
A promise is a promise
Response times, scope, recovery testing and reporting are included in the contract. See the service levels.
Finders keepers
The team that carries out the survey and installation is the same one that provides subsequent support. There is no handoff to a support department that has never seen the site.
What these organisations ask of us the most
- IT Unlimited — unlimited support at a fixed monthly cost, with 24/7 monitoring and ongoing management. The format that a foreign headquarters approves without hesitation, because it is predictable.
- Installation of computer networks and structured cabling — with point certification and report delivered. It is the documentary proof that the public and diplomatic sectors require.
- Enterprise wireless networks - Wi-Fi 6 and 7, with site surveys and guest network separation.
- Firewall and security managed firewalls, segmentation, intrusion detection and endpoint protection, configured and monitored by us.
