"Die Herausforderung: Kooperation von drei Unternehmensteilen in einem gemeinsamen Projekt"
It's a bullet item. I've never come across this term. Google isn't much help. I'm tempted to use "division" but would like to hear what you think.
TIA

cooperation of three of the company's sections
The German is quite vague and this would leave it vague on a higher level than department.

parts of the company
this may well refer to business units, divisions, departments, etc. but I would say that the German is sufficiently vague enough to warrant being vague in English. Or check with your client to be sure.

three company divisions
Sounds like we are a higher level here. Department is more like shipping, maintenance, personnel etc.
