Thanks, Kim!

agree  Steffen Walter: or "duplicate effort(s)/work" instead of "redundant work". Shouldn't it be "on" the technical side (or, of course, "in" the Technical Dept.)?

Alternative: Technischer Bereich (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/t/info/) -> Technical side as suggested by Kim.

But then there are so many possible variants that we really need more context to decide which applies.

Ignorign the term \"T-Bereich\" for a moment, the entire sentence translates as follows:

\"The management of the T division gave the following explanation for why the work was (will/should) expensively (be) carried out in duplicate\"

agree  Steffen Walter: with your comment on lacking context

  -> It's like "Pick a German word beginning with T"!
agree  Lydia Molea: Telekom was my first thought, too.
17 mins
agree  Jeannie Graham: I would also guess telecom - so if you stick to something like "T-division" you might be ok for telecom, technical etc. I think you probably have to go back to the client for more info on this one.
