de modo a

English translation: in order to

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
Portuguese term or phrase: de modo a
Frase original:
Uma vez os dados no data warehouse, eles estão disponíveis para serem consultados através de ferramentas front-end, ou aplicações de análise de dados, DE MODO A obterem informações que auxiliem a tomada de decisões.

Este texto é para ser colocado num relatório técnico, escrito em inglês britânico.

Eu traduzi a frase assim, mas estou na dúvida se a expressão "de modo a" ficou bem.

A tradução ficou assim: Once the data are available in the data warehouse they can be accessed through front-end tools, or data analysis applications, IN A WAY to obtain information that help the decision making process.
Obrigada por qualquer ajuda :-)

agree  rhandler: Mas a expressão "de modo a" é um galicismo. O vernáculo pede "de modo que + subjuntivo", ou seja "de modo que se obtenham informações que auxiliem ...".

  -> I didn't realise it was a Gallicism. Taking refuge in preposition + personal infinitive seems to be increasingly common.
