English term or phrase: the benefit as
Comment comprenez-vous l'expression ci-dessus dans la phrase suivante ?

Companies who choose a partner with a specialty in the transformation of operational and financial performance, they benefit as the desired change is achieved between five and eight times faster than if they had done it on their own. This approach reduces risk and provides reassurance and certainty that the agreed plan will deliver.

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

ils en bénéficient, puisque
Explanation:
as = since (because). Maybe 'car', but it's awkwardly expressed in EN,as the sentence starts with 'the companies' and then picks up again with 'they' — this is a very oral style, but feels a little uncomfortable when written.

The EN is not necessarily wrong, it depends a bit on the surrounding context: if the text discusses different types of companies, contrasting one with another, then this construction 'these particular companies, ... they...' is OK.

en tirent profit, parce que


Explanation:
C'est mal écrit en anglais.

Il ne devrait pas y avoir de ''they''. Le sujet est déjà exprimé. ''Companies who choose a partner....benefit, as they....''
