general departments Explanation: Probably in the context mentioned this phrase is about accounting, mail, operations and so on, seen as common ressources of the enterprise, so a straightforward and easily understood translation could be a good idea Je trouve le terme "transversal" pompeux en français, on n'est pas obligé d'imiter le style |

support services Explanation: I agree with the answer offered by "dfourcet". I have found that any business or corporate reference to a "service" is always a specific department in the company, such as engineering, human resources, quality, etc. In English we generally use the word "department", but sometimes we use "service" particularly with customer support. In this context it seems to be a collection of services rather than a single department. denoncourt |
