Dutch term or phrase: vrijmaken
"Het belang van documentafhandeling wordt onderschat, waardoor vaak te weinig resources vrijgemaakt worden."

"Since the importance of document handling is often underestimated, not enough resources are being freed (up)"

Het gaat me dus met name om het laatste stukje. Kun je hier freed of freed up gebruiken?

Bedankt. Jacki
