COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) solutions

COTS, or Commercial Off-The-Shelf solutions, are ready-made products or software that are available for purchase and use without needing custom development. These solutions are developed by companies for widespread business or consumer use, offering a practical and cost-effective way to meet common needs. Examples include office software like Microsoft Office, or security systems like antivirus programs. They are designed to be easily integrated and quickly deployed, reducing the time and expense compared to creating custom solutions from scratch. COTS solutions are popular because they provide proven, reliable functionality suitable for many organizations.
