Marketing - Computers: Software
Dutch term or phrase: Procesmatig
The sentence is "Procesmatig en met passie willen wij een bijdrage leveren aan uw zakelijk succes." (It's part of a marketing text of a web development company.

Normally when I come across this word, I can either use the prefix process- or rewrite the sentence to avoid it. I can't find a satisfactory answer for this instance and my dictionaries aren't helping. If no suitable translation for the word exists, I will accept a suitable translation for the sentence as a whole.

Procesmatig en met passie ...
Applying thorough processes and a healthy dose of passion ...


Explanation:
regardless of the actual meanings and possible interpretations of the word 'procesmatig', I strongly suspect this is what the author tries to convey. in a marketing text, dictionary definitions are only of limited value...

Reference information:
Binnen verschillende theoretische benaderingen wordt dit soms op verschillende manieren beschreven.

Waar projectmatig werken zich vooral richt op het plannen, beheersen en structureren is procesmatig werken een manier van denken en handelen waarbij de kwaliteit van de samenwerking en de verbinding tussen partijen voorop staat. Procesmatig werken is het beïnvloeden en stimuleren van het samenwerkingsproces en het besluitvormingsproces.

Definition of a Process:
By examining this definition we understand that processes are:
On-going with no clearly defined beginning and end states.
Customer driven.
Repeatable.

For a system to be successful, that is to be human-centric and process-oriented, it must provide a rich set of features that support automation and adaptation of human interaction with processes.
