I’m translating an announcement about a company’s reorganisation of its regional operations.
I’m not sure about the meaning of the word ‘’business’’ in the context below. Does it mean ‘’this company (as a whole)’’ or , perhaps, ‘’customers’’?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
‘’To attain this objective, we will take a step-by-step approach to optimising the regional operations structure in order to maintain an efficient interface between business and operations within a region.'’
(This objective = reorganisation of X’s regional operations).

customers
I think it refers to the company's clients; the company would try to keep an efficient interface between its clients and operations on a regional basis.

sales
I'm not too sure, but I believe it makes reference to the business the company makes, i.e. the sales or services.

business/commercial interests
I think this could refer to either or both of the sales/services the company offers, i.e. its actaul business (and possibly in relation to other businesses in the area).
As Hasan says, as opposed to their actual operations
