SOA. SaaS. DPWS. WSD. SOAP. XRBL. Who can keep up with all the IT acronyms out there? Luckily, most technical staff people don't have to. A Web services programmer probably needs to know what DPWS stands for (Devices Profile for Web Services) and what it does, but a network administrator couldn't care less.

CIOs, on the other hand, need to talk intelligently to Web programmers, and network administrators. As a result, many of them are in danger of drowning in acronym soup.
