soluciones del lado del suministro


Explanation:
"Downstream", en ese contexto, es todo aquello que está entre la empresa y su usuario. "Upstream" es lo que está entre ella y sus materias primas. Se usa "corriente arriba", pero me parece demasiado literal. Es cierto que "del lado del suministro" también es una tradcción literal de "supply-side", pero no consigo pensar en nada mejor.

neutral  Tomás Rosa Bueno: Hola, Mónica, me parece que, en este caso, "upstream" se opone a "end-user". Pero puede que tengás razón. ¿Cómo estuvo el PowWow de Tigre?

  -> Está hablando de soluciones, no de "consumidor final". No entiendo cómo los relacionás. El powwow estuvo de 10.
