Firstly, this is a software question, is it not? In this context, Betrieb is nearly always operation. Upon reflection... I think it is referring to the operation of the software, i.e. investment in the software to ensure its continued function... I get what people are getting at with service and maintenance, but only software engineers would be performing servicing or maintenance of software. Perhaps... investment in the smooth operation or some other positive adjective (smooth probably isn't it) would be better?
Lancashireman Feb 17, 2011:
Making sure it operates properly If this is SaaS (Software as a Service), the client will be 'operating' it and the supplier will be ensuring that it continues to operate as intended, IOW 'maintenance' (see first answer posted).

Service

In this context I think betrieb is just another word for service, as in maintenance, etc.

agree 784512 (X) : You were first. This question MUST be about the operation of software, or am I missing something? / I thought the custom was to give points to the first correct answer?

operation /operating (see exlanatory remark below)

when listing: Service/Support/ Betrieb, I ´d also use a noun, i.e. Operations; when the term occurs the second time, I´d say (no investment in their) operating

didn´t you notice that we posted our answers simultaneously ??? what I know for sure is that when I decided to participate , nobody had posted an answer. the difference of 1 min.must be due to my having taken my time posting the answer.
neutral Lancashireman : The provider will not be 'operating' the software as such.

no, not the provider, but the software of course.
