We're frequently running into situations where it's hard to create logic and readable 4 character abbreviations.

Perfectly agree. No customer accepts pure numeric DataAreaId code with no meaning, therefore there should be room for digits representing the country (e.g. user ISO code) and the remaining to count the company in that country.
Even if you use only one char to identify the country (but countries and more than 100!) you end up with only 999 companies available per country.
There are businesses (Real Estate is one example) in which the number of companies can be easily be some hundreds and therefore the solution is not scalable in the long run.

We use Companies for each unique construction project, as there are security considerations to lock down data on a per project basis. This would greatly benefit our solution.
