Managed remote support for companies without a fixed office
Paying for a provider's offices speeds nothing up. Immediate remote support, an in-house datacentre and on-site work only when the network calls for it.

How much are you paying today for your IT provider's addresses?
More than you think, with no return. Regional offices are a fixed cost, and that cost goes onto the invoice. Worse: they do not make support faster, because the response still depends on someone getting into a car.
Almost everything. Updates, security, monitoring, incidents, user accounts and device management are handled remotely, over an encrypted connection, with every step logged. The journey takes hours; the remote session resolves it in a minute.

Every hour an employee waits for an engineer stuck in traffic is an hour paid for with no output. And when the provider has offices in every city, it is the client who pays those rents. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting's managed remote support cuts both losses: we resolve remotely, immediately and with a record, and we only go on site when physical intervention is unavoidable. From Alfragide, we serve companies across Portugal, in the United Kingdom, in France and in other markets.
This model places DataRoad among the best companies in Portugal for computer networks, business wireless networks and IT estate management, with highly regarded clients and international groups.

What can be resolved without leaving the desk?
Almost everything. Updates, security, monitoring, incidents, user accounts and device management are handled remotely, over an encrypted connection, with every step logged. The journey takes hours; the remote session resolves it in a minute.
DataRoad has operated this way for 11 years. We travel when physics demands it: building a network, replacing hardware, repairing a physical fault. For the client, this means less downtime, predictable spending and engineers who know the environment in detail.
Has your company stopped having an office?
Then your IT partner should not need one either. Teams working from home, from coworking spaces or spread across several countries are now common, and the market favours mobility and hiring talent wherever it is. We serve fully remote companies and dispersed groups with an identical service in Lisbon, in another city or in another country.
We set up complete remote working: managed and protected laptops, encrypted access to company systems from anywhere, continuous security and monitoring, and immediate help. The team works as if it shared the same room.
Where do our international clients' teams work?
In DataRoad's datacentre. That is where the virtual desktops, applications and data live, protected and accessible from anywhere. For a company without a physical head office, it is the difference between relying on each person's laptop and having a controlled, secure environment that is identical for everyone.
What keeps the service running when something fails?
Multiple internet connections Independent of each other.
Starlink An extra satellite path if the terrestrial lines go down.
Advanced renewable energy To keep operating if a power source fails.
If one path goes down, the service carries on. Clients' teams never notice.
What do we do on site, and why is it better?
When physical presence is essential, it is done with engineering. We design, build and maintain structured cabling and network infrastructure, business Wi-Fi and managed firewalls. Afterwards, we manage everything remotely, with documentation and monitoring that do not depend on whoever installed it.
An IT Unlimited contract brings it all together (support, security, monitoring, management of computers, servers, networks, accounts and licences) with the same team and no unexpected invoices. 24/7 support and monitoring are exclusive to Premium 365.
Who already trusts this model with their IT?

Questions from decision-makers
Does DataRoad serve companies far from Lisbon?
Yes. From our headquarters in Alfragide, remote support covers the whole country and clients in Europe and the US; we go on site when the intervention requires it.
Can a company with no office sign up?
It can. We serve 100% remote companies and teams spread across several countries.
Is remote resolution secure?
It is, and as secure as working in person: connections are encrypted and every action is logged. It is also faster.
What happens if power or internet fails at the datacentre?
The service continues, thanks to the redundant connections, Starlink and the renewable energy systems.
Which companies do we take on?
Companies with more than 10 workstations, under contract and directly with the end client.
How much does it cost?
IT Unlimited plans start from €395/month + VAT; the final figure depends on the number of workstations and the service level. Request a proposal with your company's size.
Ready for a partner that does not depend on an address?
If your current provider is slow, or needs to come on site for something that takes a minute to fix, you are overpaying. We audit with no commitment, point out the risks and deliver a transition schedule: switching IT partner without downtime.
