professional edge

German translation: Professioneller Touch (UGS)/Professionelles Aussehen/Professionelles Design

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:professional edge
German translation:Professioneller Touch (UGS)/Professionelles Aussehen/Professionelles Design

Marketing
English term or phrase: professional edge
In the context of the new IT/web development marketing speak, e.g.

Developers that want to add a professional edge to their web applications.

… product overviews with the professional edge and high-level impact expected by today’s consumer …

I'm looking for a concise, snappy German equivalent (if there is such a beast).
The related adjective, "edgy", has already made its way into German, but this is a fairly high level text where the term "edgy" would not be appropriate. I'm also trying to keep it short as the sentence in which the phrase appears is already long and cumbersome.
TIA.

Many thanks to all of you! Each and every answer provides food for thought and ideas that I'm sure I'll be able to use and expand on when I get back to that part of the project. I was truly hard-pressed to choose any one answer, wish I could give points to all. I finally chose Michaela's answer because it gives the most choices, but really, all answers were equally helpful.
So thanks again to all!

see my attempt below


Explanation:
Produkt Uebersichten, die durch ihre Professionalität überzeugen und den Verbraucher durch ihre Zugkräftigkeit/Schlagkraft/Stosskraft/
Durchschlagskraft bestechen...

If it is possible to turn the sentence structure around, *sich profilieren* might be an option, as well, d.h. die Firma profiliert sich durch ihre professionellen Produkt-Uebersichten, etc.

hope this helps!

Schliff


Explanation:
'Zu unseren Kursen gehören 'Selbstmanagement und Arbeitstechnik' genauso wie 'Professioneller Schliff' für den erfolgreichen Kundenkontakt und Medientrainings. (see ref. below).

Alle anderen Web-Seiten (abgesehen von Rasierklingen) beziehen sich auf den
'letzten Schliff', d.h. Perfektion. Ich glaube, darum geht es eigentlich, um den letzten professionellen Schliff.

Sonst fällt mir nur 'professioneller Rahmen' ein. (edge = Umrandung), das ist gar nicht snappy, aber passt vielleicht in den Rahmen.

HTH :-)
