Three suppliers for network, email and website mean three contracts, three invoices and, when something fails, three companies pointing at each other. PTR Pharma Consulting, a consultancy in the pharmaceutical sector, put an end to that in 2019: it chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting as its sole IT partner. An annual IT Unlimited contract now covers workstations, Wi-Fi, printing, servers, internet and security, and the corporate website and professional email moved to DataRoad's servers. Today the operation is stable, monitored and has a single point of contact for all its technology.

Why did PTR Pharma want a single IT partner?

Those who work in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry need fast, secure and continuous communications. The company preferred to stop coordinating separate suppliers for network, email and website, and hand everything to a specialist, with a fixed monthly fee and unambiguous accountability.

What does DataRoad manage day to day?

AreaDataRoad's responsibility
ServersMonitoring, patches and fixes, backups and data integrity
Internet and securityFirewall and VPN, intrusion defence, traffic analysis, incident prevention
Wi-FiWireless network monitoring, fault correction, tuned coverage and security
WorkstationsHardware and software, performance, direct support for every user
PrintersInstallation, maintenance, network integration and remote management

Across these five areas run advanced monitoring, alarms that detect failures early, availability and performance reports and unlimited remote and on-site support.

What did hosting the website and email with DataRoad bring?

The second decision was to move the corporate website and professional email onto DataRoad infrastructure. The results:

  • Services always accessible High availability for the website and email.
  • Automatic copies Redundancy guaranteed by backups.
  • Protection Filtering of spam, phishing and external attacks.
  • Stability Better performance in day-to-day work.

With its digital presence held by the same partner that manages its network and workstations, the no-man's-land between suppliers disappeared whenever a problem arose.

Why does managed IT work for a consultancy?

Because it replaces uncertainty with routine. IT Unlimited keeps the operation secure, monitored and ready to react, with preventive maintenance, periodic reports and full management of systems, servers and networks. Round-the-clock cover, every day of the year, is reserved for the Premium 365 plan.

The team behind it has experience in networking, security, consultancy and support for demanding business environments, with certifications in the main networking, server, firewall and cloud technologies. The portfolio includes consultancies, clinics, hotels, industry, offices and public bodies.
