module métier

English translation: and ship building-related modules

17:49 Jun 28, 2004
French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software
French term or phrase: module métier
In context: "Un système de CAO et des modules-métier adaptés à la construction navale : CADDS 5. Ce système est à l’heure actuelle l’un des plus performants et des plus aboutis disponible sur le marché."

I'm wondering whether, based on this site:
http://www.axeda.com/products/supervisor/services/
an appropriate translation might be "application modules".

I appreciate in advance any input you can share!

disagree  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): no related to ship building...the metier here is ship building

  -> I only translated the phrase given above in bold, Jane, but of course, the precise vocational focus to which I refer is ship-building in this case.

business/core module


Explanation:
In programming, "métier" refers to the "central" logic/code in the application/module/software, as opposed to the more peripheral stuff, such as the GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the database communication stuff.
