is (currently) facing certain variables which make it complicated to take action

Explanation:
Without more context, it's a bit difficult to say what "accionar" might refer to.

I imagine other possibilities, might be along the lines of getting things going, or operations.

Sorry, just reread it. I would rephrase:

See explanation

Explanation:
A literal translation of this sentence can easily turn out nonsensical. I think the following "loose" translation captures the meaning:
"There are several variables in the IT industry that complicate how challenges are faced."
