Spanish term

technología que permita "enganchar" al usuario

Spanish to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Se trata de implementar un Marketing Dashboard en una compañía determinada.

En este contexto:

"Implicar a todas las partes importantes de la Compañía, sin olvidarnos del largo plazo ni de las variables de marca y hacerlo a través de una tecnología que permita “enganchar” al usuario y hacerle la vida profesional más fácil"

Y así lo veo provisionalmente:

"Involve all relevants departments of the Company, without forgeting the long-term nor the brand variables, and do it through a technology causing users to get hooked, and making professional life easier."

technology that enables us to attract users

"hook" sounds a bit strong in English, as if you were tricking users...

if you want to be less prosaic, what about the verb 'to woo', it is used in marketing and has nice'alluring' connotations

Spanish term (edited): technología que permita \"enganchar\" al usuario

“hook” the users

El tono es bastante ameno y no tan formal, así que aquí hay otra opción...
