French term or phrase: Vision à 360 degré
traduire en anglais 'vision à 360°) au sens de vision des informations client par exemple dans un système d'information
JM Fayolle
France
English translation:360 degree view
Explanation:
I believe you will find that, in most cases, "view" is more appropriate than vision in this context. For example, you might say that a system provides a 360 degree view of customers, but never a 360 degree vision.

agree  Michael GREEN: Reminds me of the time when an ad agency presented me with a campaign based on a "politique à 360°", which I rejected on the grounds that it sounded like "tourner en rond" - but "360° view" is not the same thing of course :)

agree  Marta Scott: Here's a headline from the Reuters website: "AlertSite`s New InSite Offers 360-Degree View of Web Performance". It's a term in heavy use in the UK at the moment in marketing speak.
