For decision-makers short on time.
Three suppliers, three different recommendations and an approved budget: that is how many companies buy the wrong infrastructure and stay stuck with it for five years. IT consulting from DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting cuts that risk. We come on site, check what exists and deliver in writing what to do, in what order and at what cost. Only then, if you wish, do we talk about a proposal. And if the best decision is to change nothing, that is what the report says.
Book a consulting conversation
We analyse cabling and network, servers and virtualisation, computers, backups, licences, firewall, endpoint protection and telephony. No forms sent by email: we open the rack and compare what is there with what the company thinks it has. It almost never matches.
The report is readable by non-technical people. It separates what is solid from what is at risk, the urgent from what can wait. Each point carries business impact, approximate cost and timeline, ready to become an action plan.
We read other suppliers' proposals and return a written opinion: what is essential, what is superfluous, what is missing and what is above the usual price. We do the same when the proposal is well made.
Optionally, we supervise the works on your side, whether carried out by us or another supplier. We certify the cabling, test performance and check configurations and backups.
| Rule | What it guarantees |
|---|---|
| Opinion before selling | No commercial proposal before the survey and the report |
| No in-house software | We neither create nor resell management software; we gain nothing from replacing yours |
| Many brands | We recommend the right solution because we work with many |
| Your document | Usable even if the works go to another supplier |
| In-person analysis | We travel from Alfragide to anywhere in the country |
The work is always in person. Our head office is in Alfragide and we provide support nationwide, although most audits take place in Greater Lisbon and on the south bank. For long trips, the visit schedule is set in the proposal. Local context in Lisbon, Sintra, Setúbal, Barreiro, Leiria, Coimbra, Porto and Braga. All areas in where we work.
The report says what to do. Those who also want someone to execute and maintain it move on to IT Unlimited, the managed services contract with a written SLA. Comparing providers? The criteria for choosing an MSP in Portugal also apply to assessing DataRoad. For the contracting model, read IT Unlimited versus retainers and outsourcing; for continuity, disaster recovery and business continuity.

The first analysis is no-commitment: we visit, look at the essentials and tell you whether a study is justified. The full survey with report has a fixed price, known before starting. Clients under contract have it included in the annual review.
Between 10 and 50 workstations, one to two days on site plus a few for analysis; the report arrives in about two weeks. For multi-site companies or industrial production, it depends on the number of premises.
Yes. The document belongs to you and has enough detail to serve as a specification for any competitor.
Consulting answers "what should we do" and ends in a document. Management answers "keep this running" and does not end.
Yes, and it happens often. Insiders know the operation better than anyone, but stop seeing what they see every day. An external opinion also helps make the case for an investment to the board.

The initial conversation is no-commitment. Request a survey and we will arrange the visit.
