This is so true. Am in logistics so can't speak to other verticals but every-single-implementation has something unique to it. Either they're on a version we haven't tested on, or they only support some date/time formats, or they have custom codes, whatever.

Worked in Logistics and can confirm. AT&T had a dozen different data formats for the same data across their network of warehouses.

Also in logistics, and agree. There is danger in over-promising with customizations. If you're not careful to you can spend more time and money meeting what the customer wants than the actual business the customer brings in.
