A consultancy that lives on billable hours cannot lose its network. DataRoad took OnRising/Velv from 48 to 96 points without downtime, and from there to 200 managed seats.

For decision-makers short on time.
At a consultancy, every hour without the network is an hour consultants cannot bill. When OnRising/Velv decided to grow its Lisbon office in 2020, it needed to double its infrastructure without taking a minute away from its teams. It called on DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting once again, which took the structured network from 48 to 96 certified points and covered the whole space with corporate Wi-Fi, without interruptions. The project paved the way for an IT Unlimited contract for 90 workstations, later extended to 200 workstations.
Fact sheet: client OnRising/Velv · sector businesses and offices · scope covering structured cabling, business Wi-Fi, firewall and security, servers and infrastructure, and IT Unlimited.
A Portuguese information technology consultancy, active in Portugal and abroad. Its areas of work:
In 2019 it was recognised as one of the best companies to work for in Portugal. Its motto: the perfect fit between each consultant's ambition and what each client needs. More at velv.pt.
Because it already knew the result. Before the expansion, DataRoad had installed the office's business firewall and a biometric entry control system. Returning to the same partner to double the network is proof in itself: technical command, tight deadlines met, installations that held up and support that answered.
By planning the works around the people, not the other way round. The work was phased so that no workstation lost its connection, the new equipment was integrated with the systems already in place and capacity was sized with the next growth phase in mind.
| Component | What was done |
|---|---|
| Cabling | Expansion from 48 to 96 points, with certified structured cabling, labelling and professional cable management |
| Wireless | Corporate access points for continuous, stable coverage across the whole floor, see managed business Wi-Fi |
| Networking | Reinforced active infrastructure for demanding teams |
| Integration | New equipment configured with existing systems |
| Scale | Technical headroom reserved for the next growth phase |
Four criteria guided every decision: performance, scalability, security and business continuity.
In this case, what happens with many clients: the infrastructure project becomes a managed services contract. With IT Unlimited, DataRoad became responsible for the availability, security and updating of OnRising/Velv's systems, with oversight and alerting, remote and on-site support, availability reports and full management. 24/7 monitoring is exclusive to the Premium 365 plan.
The contract started with 90 workstations and reached 200.
DataRoad thanks OnRising/Velv for its repeated trust, in consultancy, technical support, network management and infrastructure installation. Working for a client this demanding is a source of pride.
