español term

Área de Producción y Transformación C.I.S.

español al inglés Negocios/Finanzas Negocios / Comercio (general)
Taken from a document (from a Spanish bank) explaining its supplier endorsement process.

Here are a couple of examples:

El Área de Producción y Transformación C.I.S. iniciará, a petición del Jefe de Compras mediante solicitud enviada por correo electrónico, el proceso de homologación de un proveedor en los siguientes casos.

Cuando el inicio o reinicio del proceso de homologación se haya determinado, será el área de Producción y Transformación C.I.S. quien lo llevará a cabo con el envío de un Cuestionario al proveedor, que contendrá la siguiente información.

I'm not sure if this an internal acronym used by the bank, in which case I'll probably need to check with them, or something more generic.

Any help appreciated!

I guess the correct answer would depend on whether these are international transactions having to do with the Commonwealth of Independent States or any of the financial meanings mentioned by Juan Carlos. I would advise consulting your client.

Will, I know which bank you're referring to, because I have done work for them before. CIS stands for Compras, Inmuebles y Servicios and is translated as PSFM -. Procurement, Services and Facilities Management. Drop me a line if you have more queries.

Thank you, fox.
agree Taña Dalglish : That what I found too: but "COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES". (... underdeveloped banking sector is unable to channel ... www.unece.org/ead/pub/041/041c4.pdf ). Hugs!

Thanks.
neutral Chris Lancaster : I can't see how Commonwealth of Independent States could have anything to do with supplier endorsement for a Spanish bank. Do you not think it's more likely to be an internal acronym?

I've suggested above, under clarification, that it might not have anything to do with it. I am quite simply not sure.
disagree David Hasting : Have to disagree because I know the context and customer

I had already given my 'agree' to the other answer, and expressed my doubts in a note under clarification, which you should have read before 'disagreeing.'
