English term

Down in the weeds

English to French Other Business/Commerce (general)
Between xxxx and xxx, there is not much of a product scope overlap, making the merger a reasonable fit at a high level, with plenty of cross-selling opportunities. Down in the weeds, however, it will be interesting to see how xxx can be adapted to the E2open platform (or vice versa, but much less likely) technically. Is this merger a market share grab or a strategic grab, and if the latter, can they really make it work?

Peer comment(s):

neutral Andrew Bramhall : Surely if so ' lorsque' or ' lors de' ? But not sure it's this anyway. It's referring to location as in a certain vantage point.
