French term or phrase: Outil de pilotage
This is part of a Table of Contents listing each step of a University course in Management Information Systems. It deals with Multidimensional Approach to the Organization of Decisional Information Systems, Strategic Decision Support Systems, Multidimensional Cubes and so on. At last comes this "Outils de Restitution et de Pilotage". We cannot come to an agreement on our end as to the translation of "pilotage". Surveillance, management, pilotage, monitoring... Nothing works. Thanks in advance for your help.

Asker: The Professor already ruled it out. It was my second suggestion. He says he'll know the right answer "when he sees it". (Keep hope, I'll have the final word!)
