autant pour la pertinence

Dans l'éventualité où un réseau stratégique deviendrait critique face aux opérations d'une jeune entreprise, nous vous recommandons de vous faire assister par un spécialiste autant pour la pertinence, pour la réflexion stratégique que pour l'accompagnement lié au processus.

regarding.....as well as for.....

It's "autant...que" except the "que" is miles away, and you've got a list of 2 things before the "que" but with no "et", as the French do.
