kundespesifikk

Kundespesifikk is a Norwegian term meaning tailored to a specific customer or client. It describes products, services, or processes that are adapted to the individual requirements, preferences, or context of a given customer rather than offered as a generic solution. The word combines kunde (customer) and spesifikk (specific).

In practice, kundespesifikk can refer to product customization, configurable software, or service delivery aligned with a client’s contract or service level agreement. It is common in business-to-business contexts, software as a service, manufacturing, and professional services, where client requirements strongly influence design, implementation, or operation.

Approaches include configuration (predefined options) versus customization (code changes), modular architectures, product variants, and rules-based configuration. Effective kundespesifikk relies on formal requirements gathering, scope definition, change control, and governance to manage complexity and ensure compatibility with regulatory and privacy considerations when personal data is involved.

Benefits include closer alignment with customer goals, higher satisfaction, and potential premium pricing. Costs and risks involve higher development and support effort, longer lead times, potential for scope creep, and greater complexity. Successful practice requires clear contracts, SLAs, data handling policies, and scalable processes for maintaining and updating customized solutions.
