| English term or phrase: benchmarked | | var cautious about relying on following the lead of the companies against which xxx had been benchmarked, as they did not seem to come from comparable sectors. xxx explained that xxx’s sector did not have a good record of investment in this area, so benchmarks had been drawn from outside publishing. Companies that were better examples, like IBM, were still comparable to xxx in that they were global and so had many local sites that needed service. Other good examples from Europe included xx and xx, and all the indications from such companies were that it took about eight years to implement a HR system. |
