over-use of acronyms … a mania … :-)))
acronyms - nomials paranoia
word made of the initial letters of words set in a definition/ designation (see AAAAAA, anacronym ,
apronym , ASS , backronym , IL, recursive acronym , retronym , TLA, YAAS, YABA, YATLA). Also,
acronyms are now considered as new language named digispeak, geekspeak, Internet speak or as a
rather common parlance within a few people only.
Acronyms may represent numbers of senses, be the cause of ambiguity and complicate the understanding.
An appropriate contextualization and/or a "jargonique" input could help in that case.

KM is NOT "a" software
the future and characteristics of your Biz-Acromania
Biz-Acromania has been created in 1997 to ease the reading of papers dedicated to ERP (Enterprises Resources
Planning) and “tools” they were commonly utilizing.
Biz-Acromania differs from many other acronyms lists or dictionaries because of the here below specified reasons
and advantages ….
1. Biz-Acromania does not list all what is existing …
2. 24 main domains have been retained and colored differently as showed at the beginning: education, HR, KM, learning,
serious gaming , etc.
3. Thanks to the PDF features, you may search for specific acronyms or words via the EDIT menu and SEARCH function
4. A large majority of the “translated” acronyms are referencing other ones for enlarging the related matter beyond what
the reader is usually catching on the spot. That added characteristic represents a real warning: the new and dangerous
competitors are not yet known as they will emerge from the digital convergences. That information grounds the Jan
Rotmans saying “3 enterprises out of 5 won’t survive the digital surge” !
