Topic 1: Jargon of the Week . . . DBIO

Take it apart: Digital Business Infrastructure Operations. Is this usable terminology? Just another four letter acronym?

"Digital Business Infrastructure Operations (DBIO) is an end-to-end approach to delivering managed services. It spans the entire digital value chain – from the core to the edge – and is supported by robust network and security infrastructure."

One aspect - building things backwards - just amounts to selling solutions instead of selling “stuff” and integrating it. That sounds like the advice for last 50 years.

We'd love to hear comments on this one.
