Customization with configuration and the one should your organization be implementing
Configuration
There has been a major shift that you can observe in the industry from customization to configuration. Softwares made by companies from Apple to Microsoft make their softwares in a way that they are easy to configure and there is no need for it to be customized. Since both Apple’s and Microsoft’s’ products and softwares are made to suit specific needs and requirements, customizing them would mean altering the coding and developing or modifying the software as per your convenience. You might as well do that but what next? What do you think you will do when the next update happens? Sit and customize it again as per your wish? Well that’s not something anyone in the right mind will do as this is a waste of your resource, time and energy. Any day, a product which tends to be more configurable is the one which is likely to be chosen by the product managers in order to work efficiently and grow.
