It featured a special task force featuring an array of characters, led by Matt Trakker, with transforming vehicles engaged in an ongoing battle against the criminal organization V.E.N.O.M. (an acronym for the Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem), with an emphasis on super-powered helmets called masks worn by the characters on the show.

OK, I've been tasked with finding a way to better track our customer issues, tech support, technician dispatching, even status of parts in for repair.

The first thing any good project needs is a name.

What have you? ATOT - name my stupid software project!

Based on the bold information, V.E.N.O.M. would be a FAR more appropriate acronym.

A few jobs ago I built an inventory database out of access called "Inventory: RTD" and told everyone it meant Real Time Data. It really mean Ride This Dick.

Well you're tracking... so you don't want to lose any information. Elephants are known for their great memories.

Therefore, you need to name the system after an elephant of some kind.

Probably something along the lines of Operation Dumbo Drop or O.D.D. for short.
