Swedish term or phrase: i kommande förvaltning
Hello,

This sentence is from a bid request regarding an IT solution:

"Syftet med denna [bilaga] är att beskriva Kundens krav och behov[.] Denna beskrivning gäller både under implementationsprogrammet och i kommande förvaltning."

What does "förvaltning" mean in this context?

Thanks

Explanation:
I would go with "administration" if förvaltning refers to a government. Like Anders stated, some additional context would be helpful.

Explanation:
"förvaltning" is a bit ambiguous without any further context. But assuming it is simply the care and maintenance of the system "management" would be the proper term. If it is more concerning the activities of an authority (myndighet) it would rather be "administration", but even in this case "management" ought to suffice.
