Russian term

техническое обеспечение

Russian to English Other Business/Commerce (general)
Context - section of a company report talking about "Развитие IT-систем и техническое обеспечение"

It has been explained to me by my client that the техническое обеспечение doesn't just refer to hardware or the provision of technical support, but rather "the whole technical supplies of the company". I am sure the meaning is instantly obvious to native Russian speakers, but I can't make the mental leap to correct English!

Is the answer obvious?

Thank you.

Если бы в виду имелся... ...technical support, то в русском исходнике было бы написано техническая поддержка.

На вопрос "а почему?" - отвечу: больше года занимался формированием общности понимания между англо-русско-говорящими сотрудниками одной крупной компании, которые все-таки нуждались в прояснении некоторых 'рабочих' моментов, когда они друг друга не понимали (иначе не заказывали бы 'внешний' перевод).
