Bespoke software answer
What is bespoke software?
Bespoke software is an application or platform designed and engineered for one organisation's specific requirements. It models that organisation's workflows, rules, roles, data and integrations rather than asking the organisation to adopt the fixed operating assumptions of an off-the-shelf product.
