### In this article

**A digital health start-up that is growing fast cannot let its network become the brake. In 2021, UpHill, a Portuguese digital health start-up, chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting to renew the entire network infrastructure of its office and manage its IT under an IT Unlimited contract.** The project combined certified structured cabling, business access points, biometric access control, printing, a firewall with VPN and ongoing support, in an infrastructure designed to keep pace with the company's rapid growth.

## What data summarises the project?

| Year | 2021 |

## Why the infrastructure mattered so much

Founded in 2015 by three doctors, UpHill develops software for hospital quality analysis, advanced clinical training and the adoption of international best practice. Its solutions help healthcare professionals make better decisions, raise the quality of care, strengthen patient safety, reduce clinical errors and modernise training and assessment.

Winner of ANJE's Young Entrepreneur Award and present in most private hospitals in Portugal, UpHill operates in a context where unstable systems are not an option. That was the criterion for choosing an MSP rather than an installer.

## The infrastructure, layer by layer

### Structured cabling

- **Reliability** Better internal network performance
- **Certification** Every network outlet professionally certified

### Business Wi-Fi

- **Several corporate access points** Full office coverage
- **High density** Ready for many devices at once
- **Secure configuration** Optimised from day one

### Biometric access control

- **Door entry** Modern biometric system

## After installation: IT Unlimited

The project includes an annual IT Unlimited contract, with DataRoad managing UpHill's entire IT function:

- **Management** Of servers, network and IT estate
- **Monitoring and alerting** With availability and performance reporting
- **Proactive resolution** Incidents dealt with before they stop the team

24/7 coverage exists only in the Premium 365 plan; IT Unlimited plans start from €395 (Essential), €750 (Premium) and €1,200 (Premium 365) per month + VAT.

## What UpHill gained

A solid, secure, documented infrastructure ready to scale, with a single partner responsible from the cable to the helpdesk. For a growing start-up, that means hiring people without having to redesign the network every quarter.
