putting all one's resources at someone's disposal


Explanation:
'Met raad en daad ter zijde staan' is a fairly common Dutch expression. It should not be posted as an IT or marketing question but as general. Literally it means 'helping someone with advice and action', so something like the above might fit. It would help if you gave the whole sentence.
