Spanish term or phrase: junto a ella está nuestra gente
las pocas empresas que han cumplido cien años y alcanzado cierto porte han desplegado grandes esfuerzos en ello. Si bien somos receptores de tecnología, junto a ella está nuestra gente. Esta es una de las cosas que hemos hecho bien.

What does junto a ella está nuestra gente refer to?
Thank you!

it goes hand in hand with our people
Explanation:
"While it is true that we profit from technology...." or alternatively
"While it is true that we are beneficiaries of technology....".

I must note that I believe there's something wrong with the logic between the first and the second clause in the source. I think "technology" should be the main subject of the first part to be able to use "it" in the second clause.

"Although technology benefits us, it goes hand in hand with our people."

I hope you'll find any of these suggestions useful.

as much as our people


Explanation:
We value/rely on* technology as much as (on) our people. That is one of the key things we have done well.

Si asumimos que el referente de lo que hicieron bien es la acción de la oracioón anterior, necesitamos refrasearla, porque así como está planteada, es sintácticamente inviable.
Surge la ambiguedad y se pierde una idea clave del discurso.
*El verbo que elijas depende de lo que quisieron codificar con "receptores" o, bien del contexto mas general.

Suerte!!

our people are alongside it


Explanation:
I'm not mad keen on this either, and it could do with tweaking.

"While we are recipients of technology, alongside it are our people."

Here is another stab at it:

"Although we are technology recipients, it's in the safe hands of our team…"

neutral  Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A.: You do not specify that it's referred to *technology*. Asker's question was: "What does *junto a ella está nuestra gente* refer to?" And the plural form was already corrected in my reply to Phil
11 mins
  -> Sorry, but from where I'm sitting it's pretty obvious that it refers to technology. I didn't feel the need to state the obvious. And I did say it needs tweaking.
