IT Outsourcing in Portugal
IT Outsourcing: a complete IT department, without the cost of setting one up
Hiring, training and retaining an in-house IT team costs tens of thousands of euros a year — and still leaves you vulnerable to absences due to holidays or sick leave, as well as technologies that nobody fully understands. With DataRoad’s IT outsourcing, your company hands over its entire IT operation to a certified team in Lisbon, for a fixed monthly allowance, with written SLAs and measured results. In Portuguese and English.
What is IT outsourcing — and why does it make sense now?
IT outsourcing involves entrusting the management of your company’s IT to a specialist partner — a Managed Services Provider (MSP) — rather than keeping it in-house. The partner takes responsibility for user support, servers, the network, security, backups and communications, and guarantees all of this with contracted response times.
For most companies with up to 250 employees, the maths is simple: a single in-house technician costs over €30,000 a year, knows only a fraction of the necessary technologies and has no replacement when they’re absent. Outsourcing gives you an entire team — systems, networks, cybersecurity, cloud and voice — for less than the cost of that single salary, with ongoing support and documented knowledge that doesn’t simply vanish when someone leaves the company.
What we deliver
Unlimited helpdesk support
Remote, telephone and face-to-face support for your users, with no limit on the number of requests and no hourly charges. Your staff ring us, and we sort it out.
24/7/365 monitoring

Cybersecurity and backups
Managed firewalls, endpoint protection, access policies and backups tested against a recovery plan. GDPR compliance included.
Networks and professional Wi-Fi
Design, installation and management of wired and wireless business networks — from the office to the warehouse, from the hotel to the clinic.

Three models, depending on your circumstances
| Model | For those who | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Full outsourcing | Companies without an in-house IT team | DataRoad is your one-stop IT department: users, infrastructure, security, suppliers and projects — we take care of it all for a fixed monthly fee. |
| Reinforcement for the in-house team | Companies with overburdened in-house IT departments | Your team takes care of day-to-day operations; we handle 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, specialist projects and second-line support. |
| Project-based outsourcing | One-off requirements and changes | Migrations, office relocations, new networks, and the opening of new branches in Portugal — carried out by a certified team, from start to finish. |

Frequently asked questions about IT outsourcing
Do we lose control of our IT when we outsource?
No — you own it. You receive regular reports, a customer portal showing the status of all orders, and full documentation of your infrastructure, which remains yours. You’re always in charge; we carry out the work and are accountable under the SLA.
What if we already have an in-house technician or team?
To add to that: the in-house team remains closely involved with the business, whilst we take care of 24/7 monitoring, security, projects and second-line support. This is the model used by several of our client companies.
How long does it take to switch suppliers?
A typical onboarding process takes 30 days: we carry out an inventory, document everything and take over gradually, without any downtime. If you’re switching from a previous supplier, we’ll handle the transfer of access rights and credentials.
Do you work with foreign companies setting up in Portugal?
Yes — it’s one of our specialities: multinational companies, embassies and international schools. Communication in English, European invoicing and experience in setting up offices from scratch.
Are we tied into a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum contract period for IT Unlimited plans. The commitment is renewed every month based on the quality of the service — not on contractual terms.
