    I can tell you that if I wrote as a company description, my boss would wonder why he hired me.

    (It's a telecommunications industry. So where does "full-cycle" start? I'm betting not with raw materials. I would understand "full-service" here: design and implement your system, as well as monitor, operate, and/or maintain depending on the customer's needs.)
    thanks to all -- the source language is Russian and in Russian it's not so good either because it's (the Russian language) somewhat prone to heavy grammatical constructions. Honestly, I tried to make it less painful in En, but you see what you see.
    ...
    full-sycle vs full service - yes I thought of that, and again, that's the way the put it in the original text. I'm not the one who wrote it.


    p.s.
    and yes, it's the last sentence of a longer passage
