A local authority with services spread across several buildings has a problem that an on-call provider cannot solve: each front desk ends up with a different level of reliability. To put an end to that, the União das Freguesias de Massamá e Monte Abraão chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting again in 2021, through a public contract, this time to manage its entire IT estate, adding this responsibility to the consultancy we were already providing.

What became DataRoad's responsibility?

How does estate management differ from on-call support?

In anticipation. Managing an IT estate means keeping the inventory accurate at all times, scheduling equipment replacement before it reaches end of life, applying security patches uniformly and making sure no location falls behind the others.

With proactive oversight, a large share of faults are detected and fixed before they reach a member of staff or a resident at the counter. The effect is measured in fewer serious incidents and public services that stay open.

What results did the authority achieve?

  • A single standard The same quality of management in every building.
  • Fewer faults Prevention and continuous oversight instead of reaction.
  • Extended cover 24×7 support all year round, under the Premium 365 scope.
  • Certified engineers By several leading manufacturers.

How do we support public bodies with several buildings?

  • Prevention Scheduled maintenance of workstations and servers.
  • Planning Consultancy and an equipment renewal calendar.
  • Network Management of network infrastructure and structured cabling.
  • Service Ongoing on-site, remote and telephone support.

The relationship with this authority kept growing: in 2022, a new public contract for a server, UPS and backups, as well as the migration of around 50 mailboxes to Microsoft 365.

DataRoad thanks the União das Freguesias de Massamá e Monte Abraão for its trust in our consultancy, support and network management.
