Greetings from Portugal,

My name is Susana Araújo and I'm a Portuguese teacher. I'm working with adults who are learning English for business purposes and I need your expertise to find the English meaning for the following names of Departments in a company:

Infra-estrutura
Direcção Corporativa e Financeira
Recursos Humanos e Comunicação
Sistemas de Informação
Compras, Instalação e Manutenção
Administrativa e Financeira
Sistemas de Informação
Compras, Instalação e Manutenção
Administrativa e Financeira
Jurídico e Pessoal
Controlo de Gestão
Área de Sistemas de informação
Suporte ao Utilizador
Sistemas Retail
Sistemas Web
Sistemas Centrais
Jurídico
Remunerações e Relações Laborais

Do you know any website where I can find more information? I have the Oxford Business English dictionary, but I can't find this information there

I appreciate your help in advance!
All the best,

Susana Araújo

P.S. I will try to make a proper list when I get some spare time and I will post it on the Website.

Good afternoon James,

Thanks a lot for your precious help!
I'll visit your website and tag it for future reference.

All the best,
Susana

I got a bit of free time today so I added a resource to my site to help you understand business departments in English. Hope it helps.

Its a PDF and can be found on the page:
