Irina, very interesting questions. I never heard of company glossary because most organizations do use the generally accepted glossary published by accredited organizations and I don't see how having a company glossary would be of added value. Have you encountered this and what is the reason you are thinking of doing it? Just curious. Saving Changes...
We have a Termbank on our intranet, however it may return several different meanings of one acronym (P is project, program, platform...?) and people sometimes us a variety of terms for the same thing. They can be helpful establishing clear terminology though. I have seen some quite animated arguments where I found that people were in violent agreement on something, but didn't realize it because they were using different terms (incorrectly) for the same thing and insisting the other party was wrong. Speaking the same jargon can greatly aid communication on technical subjects. Saving Changes...

Absolutely - when I worked for one of the big Canadian banks we had a lot of internal terms and acronyms and were also in the midst of a major hiring wave so to help with onboarding my team created and maintained such a glossary over the course of a year.
