Kundenseitigen

Kundenseitigen is the plural, attributive form of the German adjective kundenseitig, meaning “on the customer side.” It is used in business, IT, and project-management contexts to describe aspects, requirements, or data that originate from the customer rather than from the supplier or vendor. The term can appear in various inflected forms depending on case, number, and gender, for example die kundenseitigen Anforderungen (feminine plural) or das kundenseitige Risiko (neuter singular).

Etymology and usage context: The word combines Kunde (customer) with seitig (siderelated), mirroring other German compounds such as herstellerseitig (on the manufacturer side). It signals a distinction between customer-originated factors and supplier-originated factors, such as 기술s, interfaces, or responsibilities. Kundenseitig is often used interchangeably with phrases like vom Kunden aus oder auf Kundenseite, and is common in contract discussions, IT procurement, system integration, and requirement engineering.

Typical applications: In requirements engineering, kundenseitige Anforderungen describe what the customer expects the solution to provide. In project management, kundenseitig bereitgestellte Daten refers to data supplied by the customer. In risk and interface discussions, one speaks of kundenseitige Schnittstellen or kundenseitige Risiken to differentiate from supplier-side concerns.

Notes on usage: The term is standard in German-speaking regions but remains a technical or industry-specific phrasing. It should be chosen when a clear distinction between customer-originated and supplier-originated elements is important. Related terms include herstellerseitig (on the manufacturer side) and vertriebsseitig (on the sales side).
