French term

software hors paliers

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks System supply ITT
From an appel d'offres / ITT for telecoms-related IT systems. Suppliers are asked to fill out a sheet giving detailed costs of each product they propose, under three headings:

« Hardware :: Software hors paliers :: Installation, mise en service, intégration »

A previous section discussed the presentation of the costs of «paliers», for which I have pencilled in "release".

Point your colleague to http://www.proz.com/kudoz/919989 (and various other discussions of commercial/technical uses of the word on kudoz)
Oliver Walter Jul 25, 2007:
I've asked a French programmer-colleague and he doesn't know what a "palier" is in the context of software!

software without stages

Declined
Software comes in alpha, beta and final release versions. It seems this company wants a software without stages. Some errors can be fixed with a series of patches.

Not sure at all what this should be called, but "stage" is a closer rendering of "palier".


Cf.

Let's call this pattern the two-stage software startup. Unlike a two-staged rocket, the first stage is light and runs on little fuel, it's the second stage that has the big burn, if it ignites.

The software release life cycle is composed of different stages that describe the stability of a piece of software and the amount of development it requires before final release. Each major version of a product usually goes through a stage when new features are added, or the alpha stage; a stage when it is being actively debugged, or the beta stage; and finally a stage when all important bugs have been removed, or the stable stage. Intermediate stages may also be recognized. The stages may be formally announced and regulated by the project's developers, but sometimes the terms are used informally to describe the state of a product. Conventionally, code names are often used by many companies for versions prior to the release of the product, though the actual product and features are rarely secret.
