German term or phrase: unternehmensweit vs. unternehmensübergreifend
"BI-GESAMTLÖSUNG
Mit Business Intelligence (BI) können Informationen, egal ob unternehmensweit oder -übergreifend verfügbar, schneller genutzt werden, um bessere und fundiertere Entscheidungen zu treffen."

This is a presentation of a software company specialized in Business Intelligence.

What is the difference between unternehmensweit and unternehmensübergreifend?

company-wide vs. cross-company
Explanation:
There is a very subtle difference:

company-wide - some feature that applies (almost) everywhere in the company

cross-company - some feature that applies across (almost) all the divisions/departments/what-have-you of the company.

That's how I read it.

HTH!

You can replace company with organisation, business, corporation ...

Company-wide = unternehmensweit
Cross-company = unternehmensuebergreifend
