English term or phrase: low-volume, high-maintenance customer relationships
un peu perdue...
merci !

If you want to pilot new projects in a hosted environment and move them in-house later, you can.
Or, if you need to outsource the management of low-volume, high-maintenance customer relationships while keeping total control over your primary customer relationships, no problem.

disagree  Bazette: non, un haut volume de service et un bas intérêt financier. Pas facile pour personne cette phrase décidemment !

  -> I believe that low-volume and high-maintenance relate to customer relationships; I don't understand what the the low financial interest you mention has to do with it...?

des relations clients supposant un volume modeste au regard de la mobilisation et du temps exigés


Explanation:
Je ne parviens pas à rendre la brièveté de la formulation anglaise, ni d'ailleurs à m'en rapprocher. En revanche je suis à peu près sûre que c'est la le sens de la phrase source.
Bon courage !

\"des relations clients supposant des rentrées trop modestes au regard du niveau de service exigé\".
J\'ai \"pompé sur Sandra pour \"service\"... Merci !
Est-ce que la phrase est plus claire ?

neutral  Sandra C.: high-maintenance est à l'opposé d'une mobilisation modeste:-)
1 min
  -> ben.. oui ! C'est le volume/rentrées (euros) qui est modeste AU REGARD de la la mobilisation et du temps exigés (sous entendu : important, eux. Donc trop de temps pour trop peu d'argent) Mais si ce n'est pas compréhensible..
