    This acronym is self explanatory. I was also going to go with the Red Dwarf Campaign for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms & their Rehabilitation Into Society.

    My project for the last year and a half started with an app called OASIS - Opportunity and Sales Information System. They then added UTOPIA, MIRAGE, NIRVANA and MARTINI.. UTOPIA - Universal Telesales Operations Portfolio Informaiton Application MIRAGE - Modular Intuitive Real-time Activity Guidance Environment NIRVANA - lol, never had any idea what to do with this one... MARTINI - the bosses were drunk one night thinking of a name for our Customer Portfolio portal. MIRAGE is my favourite :-D

      I was once asked to introduce some Billing/Time-Tracking software to the Business Units at one place I worked. This required that each Unit nominate a representative to initially attend training and waterfall the training in their Unit, and thereafter act as Unit rep on a group for feedback/tips/problem solving etc. I named the group Business Unit Timesheet Operation Controller Subcommittee Not one of the miserable toe-rags ever commented on it, and it took me days to think it up.

      Maybe nobody commented on it because BUTSOCS makes no sense, and doesn't sound like a real word.

            Yeah. It was as near as I could get. (That doesn't sort of sound right.)

                    The "Tourist Information Trier" really does exist (and isn't much good at finding hotel rooms in Trier).
