Bus/Financial - Surveying / Customer Satisfaction Survey | | German term or phrase: erfüllen die angebotenen Funktionen | "Die von ABC gelieferten Lösungen ...
- sind höchst leistungsfähig und zuverlässig im Betrieb,
- ***erfüllen die angebotenen Funktionen*** sicher auch über lange Zeit,
- sind vom Betriebspersonal leicht bedienbar,
- lassen sich gut warten,
- arbeiten in hohem Maß umweltschonend,
- liefern mir die wesentlichen Informationen für die Optimierung des Betriebs der Anlagen."
From the solution portfolio section of a customer satisfaction survey. Those completing the survey have to check on a scale of 1 to 5 how true the above statements are for them. I'm having some difficulty rendering the phrase between asterisks into elegant idiomatic English. TIA for your help. BTW, the solutions referred to are hardware ad software ones. |

| Grading comment Thanks Stephen. I think this rewrite will work well. John's "perform their functions as advertised" was pretty good too though, I thought - the definite runner-up here. Thanks to everyone who offered an idea - appreciate your help.
