saber mucho de poco y no poco de mucho
Hi.
I think the idea is not to cover too much ground and not do anything really well, and I think the saying above conveys it. The whole sentence would be:
XXX cree firmemente en (or tiene una firme política de) ofrecer soluciones superiores en unas pocas disciplinas, en lugar de tratar de "saber mucho de poco y no poco de mucho".
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I got mixed up, the sentence should be as follows:
XXX cree firmemente en (or tiene una firme política de) ofrecer soluciones superiores en unas pocas disciplinas (selectas), es decir, \"saber mucho de poco y no poco de mucho\".

: I completely agree. This is the idea, and I would move away from the text a little and get the right idea and tone.
