MOTS (Modified Off-the-Shelf)

 

Definition: A product that is a COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) product whose source code can be modified. The product may be customized by the purchaser, by the vendor, or by another party to meet the requirements of the customer.

What This Means: Education organizations often want products that meet certain specific requirements not covered by existing COTS products. As a result, they may want to purchase a MOTS product.
