English term

Escalating software

Buenas tardes,
Estoy traduciendo un contrato de consultoría y en la descripción de los servicios del consultor, me aparece este "escalating" que no se si funciona como adjetivo o hace referencia al software de escalado, ¡gracias por aclarar mi duda!

Whereas your services will include but will not be limited to:

Creating scripts and SQL queries, escalating software and infrastructure problems.

Hola, Bernadette No tengo claro si quieres una traducción al español, pero me parece quie "remitir a una instancia superior" podría ser una posibilidad.

Scalability? Might it not be an erroneous way to refer to scalability? I'm not sure what the proper verb would be. Scaling? Within that job description this would make sense to me, rather than escalating.
Lisa Rosengard Sep 23, 2024:
Is it about efforts made to find problems and resolve them at the initial stages before the problems become more difficult and need to be risen to make senior members of staff aware of them and find solutions?

referring software problems to the right person

It's the problems that are being escalated, not the software.

Escalate
to involve someone more important or higher in rank in a situation or problem:
escalate something to someone You might need to escalate the issue to the next highest level management team.

agree AllegroTrans (X) : yes, and infrastructure problems; "escalating" - a buzzword that wouldn't have meant anything 12 years ago

I don't understand why you've repeated the question, or why you've confused things by changing it to English-Spanish.
agree Maria Laura Curzi : Sí, una de las traducciones más comunes es "elevar" el problema a supervisores/gerencias intermedias.

disagree Mario Chávez : That's not what the original sentence says.

agree bonafide1313 : If "escalating" were an adjective, that person's task would be to create some "escalating software" and infrastructure problems :) :)

neutral Yvonne Gallagher : Clearly not a monolingual question

agree Jane Davis : The syntax in the original is confusing as the comma should be an "and". But "escalating" is definitely what you do when you refer a problem up the chain. It's been a thing in IT support for years.

El párrafo en cuestión reza así: "Whereas your services will include but will not be limited to: Creating scripts and SQL queries, escalating software and infrastructure problems".

No veo en qué radica la confusión. A continuación marco los verbos en negrita:
"Whereas your services will include but will not be limited to creating scripts and sQL queries, [and] escalating software and infrastructure problems".

Como hay ingenieros informáticos que no saben escribir y se olvidan de poner conjunciones como 'and' (en corchetes arriba), no me sorprende. Suerte.

agree bonafide1313 : Are you quite sure that a consultancy contract/agreement was written by an IT engineer? :)

agree Daryo : That makes perfect sense - the whole point of paying an external consultant is to have s.o. who will deal with problems that can't be solved in-house and are then 'escalated' to the step above in competency, i.e. to the external consultant.

Escalating software issues / Escalation of software problems

The term "escalating software" in this context likely refers to the process of escalating software-related issues to the appropriate personnel or team for resolution. This is a common term in IT service management and consulting agreements, describing the action of transferring unresolved problems to a higher level of expertise or responsibility.

It does not refer to "escalation software" as a specific tool or application, which is not a standard term in the industry. Instead, it describes a service or responsibility as part of the consultant's role.
Example sentence:

The consultant is responsible for the escalation of software and infrastructure issues to the appropriate team or personnel to ensure timely resolution.
