English term or phrase: Going the extra mile is regarded as standard
Bonjour à tous!

Je suis bloquée sur une expression pourtant simple... Je vois exactement le sens mais ne parviens pas à trouver un équivalent satisfaisant.

"The XXX team is dedicated to delivering high quality, cost-effective and customer-focused solutions. ***Going the extra mile is regarded as standard***, but it is XXX’s commitment to providing ’the best wireless solutions, anywhere’ that sustains the Company as the world leader in its field."

Pouvez-vous essayer de me débloquer?! :-D

Merci d'avance

Merci à tous.
