German term
Wertschröpfung
German to English
Marketing
IT (Information Technology)
This comes up in a PowerPoint presentation about an IT services provider. The title of the slide is:
Unsere Maxime lautet: IT ist Wertschöpfung,
nicht Wertschröpfung
I know what the title means (IT means adding value, not squeezing it out of every inch of the company), just can't come up with a catchy phrase for it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

added, not padded, value/value addition not value attrition
the whole point of this is that it is a play on words, so you have to find an equivalent, even if that means moving a bit away from the original
these are just ideas
