computer-aided decision-making Explanation: CAD does stand for Computer Aided Design. It seems that what you have here refers to software designed to assist in making decisions, e.g. on business or finance |

Decision Support Explanation: Here's a couple of web sites where decision support is used: French version: http://alliances.hyperion.com/partners/par295.html "spécialiste de l'informatique décisionnelle" English version: http://alliances.hyperion.com/partners/par295.html#English "decision support specialist" French version:http://www.dwo.bull.com/vf/wp0899_vf.htm "L'objectif de ce document est de fournir au lecteur les raisons qui font qu'aujourd'hui le décisionnel est devenu un des enjeux majeurs pour la grande majorité des entreprises et des administrations." English version: http://www.dwo.bull.com/ve/wp0899.htm "The aim of this document is to show the reader why decision support is a major challenge for most companies and public authorities." see above |

"...in the areas of decision support and Internet/intranet solutions" Explanation: is how I'd render it. The term "CAD" has been pretty decisively appropriated by the computer-aided design field, and its use here would, I think, only confuse the ultimate reader. "Decision support" is a common buzz-phrase, particularly in the somewhat nebulous world of IT services and the associated promotional literature. (Note too that although "Internet" (the one-and-only) is initial-capped, "intranet" isn't (because any company or group can have one).) -- Hope this helps a bit, HC |
