Cevap

Customized software

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business requirements described in the scenario
The firm starts with a standard commercial accounting package and modifies it to fit specific workflow needs.
Understanding the baseline software and the degree of modification determines its software category.
2
Differentiate between accounting software categories
Off-the-shelf software is completely unmodified standard software. Bespoke software is built from scratch. Customized software takes an off-the-shelf package and alters or expands it.
Categorization depends on whether the solution is standard, modified, or entirely custom-built.
3
Match the scenario to the correct category
Modifying a standard pre-existing application qualifies as customized software.
This combines the cost-effectiveness of pre-built software with tailored functionality.
