Whether you’re a veteran of the business world, fresh out of school, or anyone in between, we all know the importance of staying up to date on technology in the workplace. If you blink, you could miss an innovation that would have saved your organization thousands of dollars in optimizations. Or, worse, your competitors could beat you in the technological arms race and steal your market share.
It is a risk we can’t afford to take.
Aquí exponemos tres formas para proteger su negocio y mantenerse al tanto de las tendencias tecnológicas.
1. Invierta Tiempo en Capacitación
The fear of missing out (otherwise known as “FOMO”) is creeping into the business world. No one wants a competitor to beat us to the punch on the latest trend that could grow market share or reduce costs. This is why we invest in the growth of both ourselves and our teams.
Investing in the education of our internal teams is an important component of choosing and onboarding any new technology. By having internal subject-matter experts (SMEs) you will be better able to communicate your organization’s objectives to prospective partners, asking the right questions to find the perfect fit. This, in turn, ensures that the solution you build together has the best chance of success.
But training staff can be tricky. Anyone who has searched just about any topic on Google knows that there are thousands of opinions and so-called “best practices” floating around out there. Who should you trust?
To ensure you get the best information and training possible, look for webinars and training courses from trusted organizations. Webinar content is often higher quality than random blog articles, including panelists from different organizations. This means you’ll get different perspectives on the topic, rather than the random opinion of someone who isn’t an actual expert.

2. Confíe en Socios Tecnológicos Con Equipos de Soporte Dedicados
One of the biggest reasons companies don’t explore cutting-edge technology is the fear of not having the right internal resources or know-how. Thankfully, many technology companies will provide you with ongoing support to ensure you get the most from their platform or service.
Alexa Translations, por ejemplo, ayuda en el desarrollo y la implementación de soluciones de IA personalizadas para la traducción. Luego, tras haber implementado la solución, contará con un ejecutivo de cuenta dedicado. Esto le dará la tranquilidad de saber que su equipo puede implementar la IA de manera rápida y eficiente, para luego sacarle el máximo provecho.
There is an additional bonus: if you’ve invested in training, per above, then your team will be better equipped to learn from your technology partners, which only increases your chances of success. You’ll be able to speak their language and, in time, your partners will speak your language as well.
However, there are still many technology providers that don’t offer this “white glove” service. This means that your team is on their own to figure out challenges, often with only the help of ad hoc support tickets and faceless support representatives. This is rarely the most effective way to solve challenges.
Al elegir un socio tecnológico, independientemente de lo que busca, asegúrese de contar con un equipo que le brinde asistencia cuando la necesite.
3. Consulte Referencias Y Busque Inspiración
While it is important to blaze your own path, there is never harm is seeking inspiration from your competitors. After all, you won’t always be the first company to realize the need for new technology.
Of course, most of us don’t list our vendors on our website, but that doesn’t mean the information isn’t out there.
Most technology companies will showcase the clients they work with - this is called “social proof” in the marketing world. While marketers intend to convince prospective clients to buy a product or service, it can offer you a research tool. For example, you might be interested in which major banks or law firms use Alexa Translations – that information is listed right on nuestro sitio web, lo que le brinda información competitiva.
Por supuesto, no todas las empresas comparten información sobre sus clientes. Asegúrese de pedir referencias que sean relevantes para su negocio. Algunas empresas de tecnología tendrán estudios de casos que podrían serle útiles o podrían incluso proporcionar la información de contacto de sus clientes para que pueda conocer las opiniones directamente.
You need the peace of mind that you will be investing in the right solution for your business. So make sure that checking references or testimonials is a standard step when selecting a new technology partner.
Estas son solo algunas de las formas en que usted y su equipo pueden mantenerse actualizados con las nuevas tecnologías. En última instancia, depende de usted tomar las medidas necesarias para mantenerse un paso adelante de sus competidores, ya que de no incorporar nuevas tecnologías corre el riesgo de quedarse atrás.
