Hallo!
Auf einer PP-Folie wird ein Softwareunternehmen vorgestellt. Die Mitarbeiter verteilen sich wie folgt:

Sales & Marketing: 70, Engineering: 65, Professional Services: 175

Genügt es, das mit "Entwicklung" zu übersetzen (i.S.v. Softwareentwicklung)?
Danke.

Na ja, du hast hier drei Abteilungen: Vertrieb, Softwaretechnik und “Professional Services” (Sonderdienstleistungen??). „Technik“ alleine könnte da nach Haustechnik oder sonst was Minderem klingen.

Danke dir/euch! Habe mich für Technik entschieden. Mal sehen, was der Kunde meint. Interessanterweise wollte er "Professional Services" nicht übersetzt haben.
