Managed IT services in five languages: DataRoad now speaks the language of international companies

When an international company opens an operation in Portugal, the choice of IT partner is usually made at a headquarters in Geneva, Tel Aviv, London or New York. That team evaluates suppliers in English, with security policies written in English, and wants to understand in its own language who it will be working with.

This has been DataRoad's reality for several years. Our published projects include:

• Grupo Mitrelli
• ReStream A US company with operations in Portugal.
• Forward College Linked to the University of London.
• beQom A Swiss company, at its new Lisbon office.
• Reltio by SAP A US company with operations in Portugal, since acquired by SAP.
• Diplomatic missions The Embassy of Korea, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Embassy of Qatar, the Embassy of the United States of America and the Consulate of Brazil in Lisbon.

All of them came to us when the website still spoke only Portuguese. Now it speaks their language.

Portugal has become one of Europe's favourite destinations for setting up technology operations, shared services, healthcare, education and official missions. The IT offering has not kept pace: most local providers work in Portuguese, for the domestic market, with processes designed for clients in the same city.

DataRoad is one of the few Portuguese operators positioned to serve the other side of that movement: helping international companies set up and operate in Portugal, and supporting international organisations and embassies with the confidentiality and compliance requirements that such work entails. That calls for service in English, infrastructure designed around policies set abroad and a team used to audits that are not Portuguese.

The entire website has been translated, not just the home page. These are the areas international companies ask us about most:

We have a service designed for office openings: planning with the headquarters IT team, in English; a complete build — cabling, network, Wi-Fi, circuits, telephony, video surveillance, workstations and a security baseline — and on-site presence on day one.
