Bus/Financial - IT (Information Technology) | | German term or phrase: übergeordnet | Um diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, haben sich inzwischen zahlreiche Systeme etabliert, welche mit unterschiedlichen Ansprüchen und Detailstufen den Informations- und Datenaustausch, die Kommunikation und die Geschäftsprozesse unter den Beteiligten zu steuern und zu vereinfachen helfen. Neben den branchenweit fixierten Standards und Richtlinien (z.B. vom VDA) ergänzen übergeordnete Systeme bzw. Lösungsansätze die Interaktionen. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), E-Business, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Produktdatenmanagement (PDM) oder auch Supply Chain Management (SCM) sind nur beliebige beispielhafte Nennungen aus dieser Begriffswelt, unter denen sich zahlreiche Varianten und Kombinationen subsumieren.

| more universal
Explanation:
... more universal systems or systems with broader applications such as ...
I read übergeordnet as a contrast to branchenweit, which I read as industry-(segment-)specific (covering an entire, but specific, industry) such as the assembly industries (machine tools, auto making).
The system names listed after übergeordnet, from EDI to SCM, refer to a broader family. You have EDI and SCM in process industries such as chemicals and in assembly (manufacturing in a narrower sense) industries such as machine tools.
