Customer Satisfaction Survey
"Die von ABC angebotenen Lösungen geben mir Zukunftssicherheit, da sie ...
- immer auf den neuesten Stand der Technik basieren
- sich durch eine große Kontinuität auszeichnen
- sich gut ergänzen und erweitern lassen"
From the solution portfolio section of a customer satisfaction survey. Those completing the survey have to check on a scale of 1 to 5 how true the above statements are for them. I'm not quite sure how best to translate "sich durch eine große Kontinuität auszeichnen" in a way that doesn't sound too translated. TIA for helping me find a nice natural-sounding solution.

Comment: "Thanks Kim. This answer works well for the context. I wish someone had answered my additional question about Kontinuität - the one in my added note ("Kontinuität der Projekt-Ansprechpartner") - but I suppose something like "reliability" might work well there. Anyway, thanks again - appreciate your help. And thanks also to the others who offered ideas.

German term (edited):
sich durch eine gro�e Kontinuit�t auszeichnen
distinguished by a high degree of continuity
I think the question here is what exactly is meant by 'Kontinuität'. Lacking further context, I'd translate this directly, as the English term is no more or less vague than the German. Otherwise, possible replacements include:
consistency
reliability
constancy
Kim's suggestion 'seamless development'

Discussion
What would "Kontinuität" be here??? I don't like "continuity" at all. Maybe "reliability" would work for this one. For the context I originally asked about, Kim's suggestion seems pretty good to me, so thanks Kim. Anyway, I thought I'd ask about this additional use of "Kontinuität" here rather than start a separate question about the same word.
