This type of tech or corporate babble is one my big pet peeves. How about "add value"? Not limited to the tech world but mighty irritating in my book! 3 years late to this post, but I love it.

I think the issue of whether jargon is good or bad can be one of those things that is easy to oversimplify. I recently wrote about how not all jargon is created equal. Some of it can be useful in business settings, for a variety of reasons. FWIW. Best, Gwen Michelle: Great post.
