Journalism | | Dutch term or phrase: positieve balans | This is a testimonial by X for telecom provider Y (to be published in Y's client magazine). Nothing to do with balance sheets, so I suspect a play on words. Could it be interpreted as 'positive outlook'?
Om haar gezinszorg en aanvullende thuiszorg zo goed mogelijk te organiseren, doet X een beroep op een van de mobiele datacommunicatieoplossingen van Y. “Die keuze is niet toevallig, want Y heeft in vergelijking met andere providers een uitstekende dekkingsgraad”, zegt [regiodirecteur van X]. “Bovendien hebben we met Y een partner die de technologie op de voet volgt.”
**Positieve balans**
X is er voor iedereen met een zorgbehoefte op het gebied van huishouding of verzorging. Heel wat medewerkers van X werken ter plaatse bij zorgbehoevende mensen. “Dankzij de mobiele datacommunicatie tussen de laptop van de medewerkers en de server van X worden de gegevens van onze klanten onmiddellijk gesynchroniseerd. En dat is een hele stap vooruit.” Na twee jaar is **de balans positief** en X kijkt nu al uit naar de verdere technologische ontwikkelingen op het vlak van datacommunicatie. |
