In 2022, the Parish Union of Massamá and Monte Abraão awarded DataRoad, through a public contract, the modernisation of its server infrastructure: a new business server, a UPS system and a local and cloud backup solution, with consultancy and full migration of the existing systems. The result is greater stability, security and continuity in the services the local authority provides to residents.
