Something like: "Managed by a team of experts, x makes it possible even for non-professionals to work intensively with new technologies."

Or, if non-professionals has a negative ring to it, you might try "professionals from other disciplines"
Hope this helps, Beth.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Sorry, I did not indicate that I know exactly what Quereinsteiger means but was "just" looking for a suitable translation in this context. Beth´s answer helped a lot, I decided on "professionals from related disciplines"."

A "Quereinsteiger" is someone who enters a profession through unconventional paths, e.g. someone who works his way up in the field field of economics and then switches over ("steigt quer ein") to IT. Maybe someone knows a more concise expression for this, but you can translate accurately enough it as "staff who have entered the field/profession/company from other fields/professions/companies", HTH!
