English term or phrase:back office
Definition from PowerHomeBiz.com: the administrative staff of a company who do not have face-to-face contact with the company's customers.
Example sentence(s):
ANZ India is set to transfer 400 back office jobs from Australia and New Zealand to India in the next eight to 10 months. The Telegraph of Calcuta
Financial institutions all around the world are saving millions by successful transformation of their back office operations. Major European banks are doing everything possible to make their back office operations faster, cheaper, more secure and more effective. Jacob Fleming Conferences
Back offices of traditional money mangers are now being faced with the tracking, accounting, reporting, analytics and performance measurement of these complex assets. Without this back office capability, it becomes more difficult to maintain the existing business, and even more difficult to grow total assets under management. Thomsom White Paper
We are in beta with this system, so we can fix things as we go - let's keep cool. I agree that the definition above is not the best, as it is describing people that have back office jobs. "Back office" itself refers not only to people, but all the resources that run the company. Wikipedia gives a much better definition, or even Webopedia.

háttérmunkás
Definition from own experience or research: A háttérmunkások a különböző szervezetek ügyfelekkel személyes kapcsolatot nem tartó irodai alkalmazottai.
Example sentence(s):
A pénzügyi intézmények a világ minden részén dollármilliókat takarítanak meg az irodai háttérmunka átszervezésével. - Saját kreálmány
Explanation: Két megjegyzés, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1) Tudtommal nincs a magyarban kialakult kifejezés erre, ezt most kéne megteremteni, ezért nincs link sem a példamondatnál. 2) Szétválasztanék dolgokat. A back-office önmagában talán hátteret jelenthetne, de a magyarban sosem jelenik meg önmagában, csak jelzőként. A back-office system például háttérrendszert jelent, semmi köze az irodához, ellenben ha valakire azt mondjuk, háttérmunkát végez, az az angol definíciónak felel meg. A válaszban azért a háttérmunkást választottam a sok más ilyetén módon jellemezhető dolog közül, mert az eredeti definíció is ezt írta le.
