Stephen Sadie (asker) Jan 3, 2006:
@kenneth: we are talking about one of the largest energy suppliers in the world and their concept of establishing uniform IT within the company group. i cannot satet much more here for confidentiality reasons, HTH so you can help me! HNY kenneth
Ken Cox Jan 3, 2006:
As you can see from the suggested translations, there's a lot of room for interpretation here. A bit more context wouldn't be amiss (what do they mean actually? 'IT' covers a lot of ground.)
Christian Jan 3, 2006:
I personally don't like "stable" here.
Stephen Sadie (asker) Jan 3, 2006:
or maybe stable is better?

"Major" could also be used to refer to a big and important company (hence also a "major" IT group". This is where I'm coming from :o)
Note from asker:
I find "major group IT" very strange to my english ears
