What are the ways to open a ticket?
There are three ways to open a ticket: the client portal, an email to the helpdesk and the phone, +351 211 459 950 *, on weekdays from 9:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:30. All of them assign a number, an engineer and a response deadline. Monitoring alerts also open tickets automatically, often before anyone in the company notices the fault.
Is responding the same as resolving?
No, response and resolution are different metrics. Responding means the engineer picks up the ticket and starts working on it, and that is what the SLA fixes, for example under 1 hour for a P1 incident. Resolution time depends on the complexity of the problem, although most requests are resolved remotely at the first intervention.
Is there support at night and at weekends?
Only on IT Unlimited Premium 365, the only plan that adds 24/7 support and monitoring to the base hours, including nights, weekends and public holidays. On Essential and Premium, support runs on weekdays from 9:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:30, with immediate response times. Clinics, logistics operations and international teams usually choose Premium 365.
Can I check the status of requests without phoning?
Yes, the client portal shows open tickets, where each one stands and the company's full history, at any time. Management sees the same as the technical team, without having to ask for updates. Regular reports bring together request volumes, actual response times and trends.
How much does the managed helpdesk cost?
The helpdesk is included in IT Unlimited, which costs from €395/month + VAT on Essential, remote and phone only, from €750 on Premium, with unlimited on-site support, and from €1,200 on Premium 365. Tickets and calls are not counted. The final price depends on the number of workstations and is set out in the proposal.
Do I need a contract to use the helpdesk?
Yes, the portal and the SLA are part of the IT Unlimited plans, and DataRoad does not do one-off call-outs. The contract runs for one year, renews automatically and has no tie-in, for companies with more than 10 workstations. See the business helpdesk page and the reasons in why we turn down one-off support.
