diagnostics for SAP MM module settings Explanation: If you look at your computer, a "paramètre" is a setting. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 23 mins (2005-06-16 10:47:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- What\'s the point of \"point\"? I don\'t know at all - I\'m far from being an IT expert. Obviously no offence at all taken - very valid comments you make. |

Assess parameter settings/parameterisation Explanation: Diagnostiquer - while IT systems often have "diagnostic" tools, these are generally automated gubbins that do all the work for you. As a verb, I often find that "diagnostiquer" when people are involved often means simply "assess". Seems to be a bit of an IT buzzword in French these days... Parametrage is (usually) the act of setting the parameters - as Connor says, you can often paraphrase to just "settings", depends on the context. Parameterisation is a bit of a mouthful & some people don't like it. I truly don't see the point of "le point", but I thought I'd best post an answer, so people don't think I'm just gonna sit and snipe from the sidelines. One possibility could be that is genuinely one single point/aspect of the parameter settings that the Provider is going to help out the Client with (leaving the client to work out the rest for himself?) Another is that it's superfluous nonsense - but in a contract...? I'd be inclined to ask, quite honestly... |
