tecnología de potenciales clientes


Explanation:
Está bien redactado. A "prospective customer" es un cliente potencial en el futuro. La frase entera traducida podría ser "construye y potencia la tecnología de clientes actuales y futuros"

Here is a further use of prospect as a noun by the same company:

Avaya Accessibility Solution Helps Atlanta Technical College Protect its Technology Investment, Improve Service to Students and Prospects

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 1 hr (2009-12-12 18:44:50 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

The rest of the text shows that the prospects are the "potential students"

When Georgia-based Atlanta Technical College replaced its communications system, the organization faced a dilemma. The new system lacked the accessibility features needed to help the school's vision-impaired operator determine the status of calls and the functions on her console.

"We suspected we were losing potential students, especially during registration time when we have especially high call volumes," said Teresa Brown, vice president of administrative services for the college. "Calls could back up, be misdirected or left on hold without her knowledge. We knew we had to assist our employee and continue to serve our students."

neutral  David Russi: Todo lo contrario... customer and prospect both modify technologies. Added: No I am reading the English context... I can't see any way you can read what would amount to "potential client technologies" from the source text. Saludos cordiales, D.
