German term
Schnittmenge
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Computers: Systems, Networks
Unified Communications
I've looked this one up in the glossary but I can't find anything suitable for this context.
Unified Communications (UC) bildet den Oberbegriff und beinhaltet neben Advanced Unified Messaging noch Unified Messaging, die beide jeweils Schnittmengen zu UC bilden.
Can't seem to get my head round it.
TIA

*leave it out*
The second half of the sentence is redundant and entirely unnecessary. All it says is that AUM and UM each share features of UC. In fact, I doubt it is even accurate, since Advanced Unified Messaging would seem to imply a superset of Unified Messaging.
Unified Messaging <is a subset of> Advanced Unified Messaging <is a subset of> Unified Communications.
I'd definitely request clarification from the customer on this one.

intersection
Schnittmenge is an algebraic term, meaning that two areas intersect each other. Leo has "intersection" and "intersecting set" (in the forum) as possible translations.

subset (in this context)
Jeff and Ingo are both essentially right, and in particular 'Schnittmenge' is an algebraic or set-theory term and corresponds to 'overlap' in English (the common elements of two sets).
In this case (assuming the text can be believed), UC contains the other two items and the other two items also overlap with UC, which logically means they must be subsets of UC.

\'Intersection\', as Ingo said, is the more precise term.
