French term
domaine d'excellence
French to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
Wondering if there is a specific "business" term for this in English (area of excellence is the obvious solution, but I don't think it applies here).
This is about a company's half-yearly results and the fact that it has successfully met a number of challenges recently:
(Company X) a ainsi conforté son domaine d’excellence : apporter des solutions innovantes à nos clients dans nos quatre métiers.

leading edge domain is a top domain, in this case close to unexcelled.

French term (edited):
domaine d\'excellence
key strength
the word "key" icould b e appropriate because big companies - such as IBM for instance - have been, over the years, outsourcing things like printers, and only reserve "key" competencies. Today, mainframes would be one of their "domaines d'excellence".
