English term or phrase: tapestry
"Infrastructure is becoming a tapestry of decentralized delivery services," Eccles told the audience during a presentation at the Executive Summit. "The channel isn't important anymore; it's all about the customer and thinking about how the customer is coming to you." Seamless channel integration is critical, Eccles continued, and Umpqua and every other bank should be striving for it.

Chinese translation:一系列
Explanation:
tapestry原意是编织物或挂毯,随着语言的更新,形成词组a tapestry of,根据您所涉及文章的语境,可适当翻译为“一系列、各种各样、形形色色”,取其原意“编织物、挂毯”色彩丰富,寓意及此。

下面是一个典型的示例:
作者讲述犹太人的各种风俗掩盖下的一致信仰时,用了这样一个文章标题: A Tapestry of Customs, but Unified Beliefs

When people see the different customs of Chassidic Jews with their long caftans and round fur hats, Ashkenazic Jews (from Northern Europe) in business suits, and Sephardic Jews (from Spain and Northern Africa) with long white robes, they tend to focus upon the external differences of custom.

或者这里用‘编织物’, 词性更明确一些

‘一系列’表达不了‘错综复杂’的感觉,没有紧密交织在一起的意思。象。。。织成的编织物。。。

五花八门的


Explanation:
Lilany的“各种各样的、形形色色的” 也很好,但“一系列的”就不是很贴切了,因为从原文看不出这些服务是成系列、有组织的。即使有组织,显然强调重点也不在其组织上。
