ohjelmistolliset

Ohjelmistolliset is a Finnish term used to describe aspects, components, or concerns that are software-based or software-related, as opposed to hardware-based. The word is formed from ohjelmisto, meaning software, with the suffix -llinen, which denotes “having” or “characterized by.” When used in plural form as ohjelmistolliset, it can function as a noun phrase referring to software-centric elements in discussions, documents, or classifications.

In practice, ohjelmistolliset appears in contexts such as ohjelmistolliset ratkaisut (software-based solutions), ohjelmistolliset virheet (software defects), or ohjelmistolliset järjestelmät (software systems). It is commonly employed in IT governance, procurement, and project documentation to distinguish software-centric concerns from hardware-centric ones, e.g., contrasting ohjelmistolliset vaatimukset with laitteistolliset vaatimukset.

The concept encompasses software products, modules, features, configurations, and related processes that exist in the digital domain rather than in physical form. It is relevant to software development (ohjelmistokehitys) and to service delivery and management contexts, including software maintenance, deployment, and compliance. Related terms include ohjelmisto, ohjelmistokehitys, and laitteisto, with the latter used to describe hardware-related aspects. The terminology is particularly common in formal or technical Finnish texts, such as procurement specifications and IT governance documents.
