No-obligation proposal from DataRoad." language: en url: https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/nearshoring-portugal-managed-it/ source: https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/nearshoring-portugal-managed-it/ publisher: DataRoad IT (DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting), Portugal --- > Nearshore teams expect head-office IT in Portugal: redundant internet, properly sized Wi-Fi, VPN and group security. No-obligation proposal from DataRoad. # Nearshoring in Portugal: network and IT to head-office standard At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 Nearshoring teams expect the same IT in Portugal as they would have in London or Berlin. - 02 Four requirements from day one: redundant internet, sized Wi-Fi, VPN and group security. - 03 DataRoad delivers the headquarters standard locally, with support in Portuguese and English. - 04 Reporting to headquarters with the discipline of contractual SLAs. ### In this article An engineer hired for a Lisbon hub who drops out halfway through a meeting with New York does not blame the carrier: they question the decision to move. In **nearshoring in Portugal**, productivity depends on IT at headquarters level: Wi-Fi that handles dozens of video calls, stable VPN and cloud, and security identical to the rest of the group. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting fills that role as a local IT partner that applies the global standard and works in English. ## The essentials in four lines - **Expectations** The team is used to top-tier IT. - **Connectivity** The work lives on the link to headquarters. - **Formula** Global rules, delivered in Portugal, with bilingual support. - **Accountability** A local partner that follows group policies. ## What does a below-standard local office cost? Anyone setting up an engineering, operations or support centre in Portugal does not recruit talent to offer them less than they would have in London or Berlin. People count on flawless Wi-Fi, stable video calls and instant access to corporate tools. When that does not happen, the bill does not show up in the IT budget. It shows up in staff turnover and in how the Portuguese office is seen within the group. ## Which technical requirements cannot fail on day one? Daily meetings across several countries, repositories and documents in the cloud, internal systems accessed via VPN. All of this requires four conditions met at the same time: - **Two internet connections** If one goes down, the team carries on. - **Business Wi-Fi with capacity** [a wireless network sized for dozens of simultaneous video calls](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/business-wifi-installation/). - **Protected remote access** VPN and global tools without friction. - **Group security** [managed firewalls in line with corporate policies](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-firewall-services-portugal/). Seen from headquarters, Portugal is one more node in the global network. To work, that node needs competent engineers on the ground. ## Why not manage Portugal from headquarters? Because it is slow. Multinationals already have approved vendors, security policies and central management tools. What they lack is someone in Portugal to receive the equipment, run the cable, configure the network to the internal standard and fix the 9 a.m. fault. Letting the local office improvise creates deviations; managing it from a distance creates delays. The answer is a partner on the ground that respects the standard and reports in the format headquarters asks for. ## How does DataRoad work with international groups?
