German translation:Übereinstimmung/Einigkeit/Eintracht
Explanation:
if two parties have the same line of sight, they see 'eye to eye', or there is a 'meeting of the minds'. I think this idea is covered in German by Übereinstimmung/Einigkeit/Eintracht.

verbesserter Informationsfluss


Explanation:
Algemein geht es doch überall im Text im weitesten Sinne um verbesserten Informationsfluss und um die damit gewonnene Geschäftseffizienz. "line of sight" habe ich also so interpretiert.
