UP Portugal: one partner accountable for IT on the Premium plan

For a growing company, every hour spent waiting for an engineer or watching one supplier blame another is productivity that never comes back. In 2022 UP Portugal solved this once and for all: it handed full management of its IT to DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, on an annual IT Unlimited Premium contract. Workstations, wireless network, printing and servers now have a single owner, with continuous monitoring, alerting, periodic reports and remote and on-site support with immediate response.

Which problem did UP Portugal want to eliminate?

Fragmentation. UP Portugal is growing fast and needs a stable, fast and secure infrastructure every day. Coordinating several suppliers, or calling someone only when something broke, no longer worked.

The choice was the managed services model: one contract, one owner, permanent prevention. The quality of DataRoad's service, the speed of the team and the ability to deliver without interruptions weighed in the decision.

What came under DataRoad management?

  • Workstations Computers, software and critical applications, with fast resolution and tuning of performance and security.
  • Wi-Fi Continuous monitoring of the wireless network, with coverage, stability and speed assured and immediate intervention when something fails.
  • Printing Faults resolved, devices configured on the network and less downtime.
  • Servers Permanent oversight, fault correction, updates and preventive maintenance.

What does UP Portugal gain with the Premium plan?

  • Eyes on the infrastructure all year round Continuous monitoring of every system.
  • Alerts before the user notices Alerting detects failures before they affect anyone working.
  • Documented proof Periodic availability and performance reports.
  • An on-site engineer without limit Unlimited remote and in-person support, with immediate response.

Those who also need nights, weekends and public holidays have Premium 365, the only DataRoad plan with 24/7 support and monitoring.
