English translation:cross-operation, and cross-process
Explanation:
"cross" is very frequently used for "übergreifend" in an IT context, including by Microsoft (see link below); they explain it as "across process or operation boundaries", i.e. exactly your context.

across the entire operation


Explanation:
This one is often problematic. Sometimes I use comprehensive, but unfortunately 'x-comprehensive' (where x is some noun) doesn't work in English.

Ditto 'across the entire process'.
