[LINK] DCaaS and DCOaaS

[Stephen Wilson]

Yup, the case for using these new terms is very clear indeed. "DCOaaS" 
saves a whole five characters over the boring old English word 
"outsourcing".  And it delivers linguistically-leveraged management 
jargonization for incremental nett improvement in negative 
comprehensionability.

Cheers,
