SIATSA, a Mexican technology infrastructure and AI company with nearly 40 years of experience, has launched "El Costo Invisible" (The Invisible Cost), a series of video conversations with executives from finance, manufacturing, and the automotive and industrial equipment supply chain. The series, hosted by Arlet Delgadillo, Business Development at SIATSA, aims to expose the real, often hidden, costs of outdated technology in mid-sized Mexican companies.
The conversations feature five industry leaders, each providing a unique perspective. Carlos De Alba Gutiérrez, a financial strategy consultant, warns that ERPs are not a one-size-fits-all solution, stressing the importance of verifying actual needs before implementation. Daniel Alameda Picazo, founder of DAP, notes a lack of foresight in Mexican plants, where urgency dominates until failure occurs. José Francisco Flores Alcalá, a data scientist, emphasizes the critical role of communication in project success, while Jesús Adrián García López, an electrical design engineer at Wheelabrator Group, points to human error and rushed parts as underestimated costs. Sergio Iván Torres Valdés, a product engineer at Bocar Group, highlights the reliance on clients for innovation in Mexican manufacturing.
The series addresses a systemic issue: technology infrastructure in mid-sized companies is lagging behind business growth, leading to response times, unreliable data, and failed integrations. SIATSA's approach, as described by CEO Fernando Regidor, is not to sell a solution but to encourage executives to confront the hidden costs before they become insurmountable. The company offers IT as a Service (ITaaS), Data Center as a Service (DCaaS), and AI as a Service (AIaaS), enabling mid-sized companies to access enterprise-grade technology without the complexity and cost.
SIATSA's model begins with a diagnosis of the client's operations, identifying legacy systems, overstretched IT teams, and complex integrations. This approach has been refined over nearly four decades, positioning SIATSA as a partner in bridging the technology gap. The series is a call for more executives to engage in these conversations, as the cost of avoiding them becomes too high to ignore.
