In 2023, Beqom — an international technology company founded in Switzerland in 2009 — entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the entire network infrastructure of its new office in Lisbon: certified structured cabling, a rack, Wi-Fi 6 with a centralised controller, Layer 3 PoE switches and a corporate firewall. The project then moved under management in an IT Unlimited contract covering around 60 workstations.

Who Beqom are
Beqom helps large international companies improve the performance and motivation of their employees, with fair, transparent and integrated compensation models. A technology company with this profile expects its Lisbon infrastructure to meet the same standard it finds at head office — and chose a partner with know-how in networks and critical infrastructure to guarantee it.
The network infrastructure installed
- Certified structured cabling — multiple network points, labelled and certified at the end.
- Rack — installed to house all the network equipment.
- Wi-Fi 6 — access points with a centralised controller.
- Switching — high-performance Layer 3 PoE switches.
- Corporate firewall — installed, configured and optimised.
The result is a robust, scalable network, ready for the daily work of a growing technology team.
After installation: IT Unlimited managed services
Beqom was not left with a network delivered and forgotten. It joined IT Unlimited, DataRoad's managed service, with remote, telephone and on-site cover:
- Ongoing support By email, telephone or on site, with immediate response.
- Monitoring and alerting Systems are watched and faults detected early.
- Preventive management The infrastructure is maintained before it causes problems.
- Specialist service desk A single point for all requests from the 60 users.
The Beqom team gains operational continuity and productivity, without having to manage IT internally.
