El Costo Invisible': SIATSA's New Series on Mexico's Tech Debt Crisis
Ciudad de méxico, Mexico - August 14, 2026 / Siatsa /
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, August 7, 2026 —
SIATSA, a Mexican company with nearly 40 years of experience in technology infrastructure, data centers, and applied artificial intelligence, 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 conversations are hosted by Arlet Delgadillo, Business Development at SIATSA. Each guest brings a distinct angle from their own industry, and together they converge on a shared diagnosis: technology infrastructure in mid-sized Mexican companies is falling behind the pace of the businesses it is supposed to support.
The Context
The series gives industry leaders a candid space to discuss what it actually costs a company to keep operating on technology decisions made years, sometimes decades, earlier. The real cost of outdated infrastructure rarely shows up on a budget line; it shows up in response times, unreliable data, and integrations that fail at the worst possible moment.
Five Voices From the Field
Carlos De Alba Gutiérrez — Financial Strategy Consultant
Carlos De Alba Gutiérrez leads his own financial strategy practice, working with founders of consumer brands and drawing on experience across fintech and digital markets.
"There are many types of companies where an ERP won’t solve your problems. Before bringing in any ERP, verify that it’s really what you need, the devil is in the details."
Daniel Alameda Picazo — Founder, DAP
Daniel Alameda Picazo is the founder of DAP, a custom manufacturer of electrical components serving clients across manufacturing, packaging, and consumer goods plants throughout Mexico.
"In Mexico, there’s a lack of foresight. Almost every plant I’ve visited follows the same pattern: they work under urgency. It’s only once something has already failed that everyone starts running."
Alameda built DAP after watching larger firms neglect the small clients that once made up their core business, and has since turned down an investment offer that would have accelerated DAP’s growth in exchange for that closeness.
José Francisco Flores Alcalá — Data Scientist & Senior Project Leader
José Francisco Flores Alcalá is a Data Scientist and Senior Project Leader, with a career spanning engineering and project management roles across the manufacturing sector.
"If there isn’t good communication among everyone involved, that’s where projects get delayed, and not just within one company, it can involve several."
Flores Alcalá described the tracking documents his teams use to consolidate input across design, manufacturing, and testing so no department works from outdated information.
Jesús Adrián García López — Electrical Design Engineer, Wheelabrator Group
Jesús Adrián García López is an Electrical Design Engineer at Wheelabrator Group, where he designs control panels for automated industrial machinery sold to manufacturing clients across North America and Europe.
"There has to be some kind of structure, an organization that helps technicians know exactly which part is where. A lot of what goes wrong comes down to human error."
García López pointed to a common, underestimated cost during equipment startups: a rush-ordered part can cost up to fifty percent more while the machine sits idle.
Sergio Iván Torres Valdés — Product Engineer, Bocar Group
Sergio Iván Torres Valdés is a Product Engineer at Bocar Group, with more than 13 years in Mexico’s automotive manufacturing industry, and is completing a Master’s degree in Innovation Management.
"Many companies don’t have the resources that some technology companies do, that’s exactly where innovation can make a difference. In manufacturing in Mexico, the development side feels a bit abandoned, we rely heavily on clients to bring in what’s new."
From Conversation to Infrastructure
This pattern is one that SIATSA has spent nearly 40 years addressing. Its service model spans IT as a Service (ITaaS), Data Center as a Service (DCaaS), and AI as a Service (AIaaS), letting a mid-sized company operate with the technical solidity of a large corporation without absorbing its cost structure or complexity.
Rather than leading with a product recommendation, SIATSA starts with a diagnosis of the client’s actual operation: legacy systems without current documentation, IT teams stretched thin on incident response, and integrations layered on integrations that no one fully understands anymore.
Executive Statement
"For almost 40 years we’ve watched the same pattern play out in Mexican companies: the business keeps growing, but the technology underneath it falls behind, and almost no one is willing to say so out loud. With ‘El Costo Invisible,’ we’re not selling a solution. We want more executives to have this conversation before the cost of avoiding it becomes too high to ignore."
