As the United States economy grows increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure, many of its small and mid-sized businesses are falling behind. The problem is not a lack of ambition but a dependence on legacy technology that no longer meets their needs. From outdated accounting platforms in tax firms to non-compliant databases in healthcare clinics, business owners across the country are struggling with systems that cannot keep up with today’s demands for scale, complexity, and security. At a time when digital agility often makes the difference between expansion and decline, this gap has become a serious economic vulnerability.
While headlines focus on groundbreaking innovation, the less visible reality is that tens of thousands of American businesses still rely on expired operating systems, fragmented data silos, and manual processes that increase their exposure to cyber threats and weaken efficiency. A recent IBM report revealed that more than seventy percent of global enterprises continue to use legacy applications for core operations. The consequences are significant: higher maintenance costs, inconsistent performance, and limited ability to integrate with modern platforms. This burden is especially damaging in sectors such as law, finance, and logistics, where regulatory changes and client expectations evolve quickly.
In response to these challenges, B-Red Team Technology is preparing to enter the U.S. market with a mission to help businesses finally upgrade their systems. The company was founded by Brazilian IT architect and software engineer Renato Bortolazzi Junior, who has led modernization projects across multiple industries and countries. Instead of focusing on flashy new tools, his approach emphasizes strengthening the digital foundations businesses need to grow securely and sustainably.
Bortolazzi has spent more than a decade working in high-risk IT environments, leading transformations that range from migrating entire platforms to the cloud to developing fraud detection tools integrated with national postal systems. His strength lies in redesigning underperforming systems to deliver measurable gains in speed, cost efficiency, and reliability, qualities that matter most for companies without large internal IT teams.
“I have seen how strategic modernization, even for small firms, can unlock enormous efficiencies and reduce risk. Our goal is to make that transformation practical and accessible,” Bortolazzi explained.
B-Red Team Technology will focus on underserved clients in the U.S. small and medium business sector, many of whom lack access to specialized IT services or the capacity to manage complex transitions internally. Rather than offering generic software development, the firm intends to identify bottlenecks, re-architect systems, and implement secure, integrated solutions tailored to the realities of each client’s operations.
What sets this initiative apart is its recognition of the broader systemic challenge: the national IT talent shortage, which disproportionately harms smaller businesses. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than three hundred seventy-five thousand new IT jobs will be created by two thousand thirty-one, yet a significant number remain unfilled, particularly in areas such as cloud migration and cybersecurity. This gap forces many firms to depend on external consultants, often at high cost and with uneven results. B-Red Team Technology aims to counter this with a hybrid model that combines consulting, development, documentation, training, and long-term support.
The company’s potential impact could reach beyond its clients’ bottom lines. When small businesses modernize their technology, the benefits ripple outward into the wider economy. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, small and mid-sized firms generate two-thirds of new private sector jobs each year. By providing them with updated systems, B-Red Team Technology could help these businesses grow more sustainably, comply with regulations, avoid costly mistakes, and strengthen their contributions to local communities and national growth.
From its base in Austin, Texas, the firm is preparing to serve clients in sectors where data privacy, system speed, and reliability are essential to daily operations. Its goal is not only to modernize outdated platforms but also to build a culture of technological readiness. By embedding knowledge transfer into every engagement, B-Red Team Technology intends to leave clients better prepared to manage change on their own in the future.
In a business climate where delays in digital adoption can cost far more than market share, firms like B-Red Team Technology may provide the essential bridge between legacy systems and modern capabilities. For Bortolazzi, the opportunity is not only professional but also a chance to help rewire the infrastructure that supports American entrepreneurship at its core.
