Vanilla software refers to applications and systems used in their unmodified, original state, as distributed by their vendors.[1] This term is often applied in fields such as enterprise resource planning (ERP),[2] e-government systems,[3] and software development, where simplicity and adherence to vendor standards are more important than expanded functionality.[4] By opting for vanilla software, organizations benefit from lower costs and straightforward maintenance, though the trade-off may include reduced flexibility and customization options.[4]
The term "vanilla" has become ubiquitous in computing and technology to describe configurations or implementations that lack customization.[3] In these contexts, it emphasizes simplicity, standardization, and ease of maintenance.[3]
