English term or phrase: balance (hier)
Aus einer Präsentation zur Bilanzpressekonferenz eines IT-Dienstleisters, Folien zum Ausblick auf das kommende Geschäftsjahr:

XYZ transaction is an important step in our strategy:

- to build scale, ***balance*** and customer footprint in Europe
- to enhance outsourcing position, including BPO

Wie ist denn hier "balance" zu verstehen?

Ausgewogenheit
Explanation:
might be another option.

An unbalanced product portfolio gives competitors the ability to claim market share; it is one reason why companies acquire each other to complement and round out the range of products and services they offer. It might make sense here because *XYZ transaction* likely refers to a merger/collaboration agreement/jv or some such thing. :-)

disagree  Steffen Pollex: They mean: "our strategy is to build scale, ***balance*** and customer footprint". "Balance" is hardly the "balance sheet" here. It is the "balance" between certain factors, business areas, interests, whatever. You will have to investigate with the client

disagree  silfilla: the text is not referring to a balance sheet but rather to positioning issues
