For decision-makers short on time.
Licences paid for people who have left, accounts without a second factor and a SharePoint with no copy: that is the hidden cost of a Microsoft 365 nobody manages. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, a Microsoft partner and one of the best companies in Portugal for business IT support, takes over the whole tenant: the company pays only for what it uses, every account requires MFA and data has written retention. Headquartered in Alfragide, with support across Portugal and for international companies in Portugal, Europe and the US.
More than it seems. We regularly find licences for former employees still being billed after more than a year. A single stolen login without MFA opens the mailbox, the contacts and the shared files.
Microsoft guarantees the service is available. It does not guarantee it will recover what your team deleted. A message deleted 45 days ago, a library encrypted by ransomware or an account closed by mistake are beyond the reach of the native tools.
| Scenario | Unmanaged tenant | Tenant managed by DataRoad |
|---|---|---|
| An employee leaves | The licence keeps being billed | Account closed that day, mail redirected, licence reassigned |
| Phishing email | Depends on each person's attention | Filtering, Safe Links and active alerts, plus team awareness |
| Compromised credentials | Intruder inside the account | The second factor blocks the sign-in and raises an alert |
| Document deleted 2 months ago | Gone | Restored from backup |
| Outlook not syncing | Googling during working hours | Request logged and handled remotely, no extra invoice |
| A new joiner | Improvised account | Template profile: licence, groups, MFA and equipment ready |
There are three pillars: a move to the cloud without interruption from on-premises Exchange, cPanel or Google Workspace; protection switched on from the start; copies of email, SharePoint and OneDrive.
With method. The three most common starting points are Exchange on an ageing in-house server, mail hosted with the website (cPanel, Plesk and similar) and Google Workspace.
For 20 to 50 users, it typically takes two to three weeks from assessment to cutover. The team barely notices the change.
The União das Freguesias de Massamá e Monte Abraão chose DataRoad in a public tender to move almost 50 mailboxes to Exchange Online. The project followed the steps above and continued into user support, the phase that decides the success of any migration.
Ouro Rossio Hotel has Microsoft 365 implementation and management built into IT Unlimited. PTR Pharma Consulting entrusts DataRoad with its email and website, under continuous monitoring.

★★★★★ 5,0 · 52 Google reviewsManagement is included in the IT Unlimited Premium plan, from €750/month + VAT, and the IT Unlimited Premium 365 plan, from €1,200/month + VAT. Creating users, connecting phones, fixing sync issues, adjusting permissions or answering questions does not generate an extra invoice. Licences can be billed by DataRoad, on a single IT invoice, or stay on your Microsoft account.
We work only under an IT Unlimited contract and take over the client's entire environment; there are no one-off call-outs and no standalone equipment sales. Out of scope: Power Platform development and extensive change-management or Teams training programmes. In those cases, we refer you to someone who does it.
Yes, you simply grant DataRoad delegated administration access to the tenant and the service starts. Licences stay on your Microsoft account and management is included in the IT Unlimited contract. Even so, many clients choose to transfer their licences to DataRoad, to have a single IT invoice and a quarterly review carried out by whoever bills them.
A migration of 20 to 50 mailboxes typically takes two to three weeks, and email is not interrupted. History is transferred beforehand, in the background. Cutover is a DNS change in an overnight or weekend window, with a planned fallback to the old system, and takes each person a few minutes the next morning.
No. Mail, calendar and contacts move in full and are checked account by account before cutover, with an account map delivered to management. Outlook rules and signatures are recreated with each user. Anything that comes up during fine-tuning, such as a phone not yet connected or a scanner sending to the old server, is resolved the same day.
Not in the sense that matters to the business. Microsoft 365 has temporary retention and service redundancy, but it does not protect against old deletions, ransomware in synced SharePoint or an account closed by mistake. Microsoft's own terms of service advise customers to back up their data, and that is what managed tenant backup does, with written retention.
Only in the first week. We install Microsoft Authenticator on each phone and mark trusted devices to limit confirmation prompts. After that, most users barely notice it. It is the single measure with the greatest effect against mailbox intrusion, which is why it is switched on before the first login to the tenant.
No. The assessment distinguishes who needs installed applications, who works only in the browser and who uses email alone, and assigns the right licence to each role. That adjustment often lowers the total bill. The quarterly review then ensures dormant accounts and forgotten subscriptions are no longer paid for.
DataRoad also supports companies on Google Workspace. We migrate to Microsoft 365 or support those who prefer to stay on Google. In practice, heavy Excel users and organisations that deal with public bodies tend to choose Microsoft 365. The recommendation comes from the assessment, with costs compared in writing.
Management is carried out remotely for companies across Portugal, from our Alfragide headquarters, with on-site visits when there is equipment to configure, users to train or a server to decommission. Regional pages: Lisbon, Cascais, Oeiras, Sintra, Leiria, Coimbra and Porto; full map under service areas.
