An example of a vertical application is software that helps doctors manage patient records,insurance billing, etc. Software like this can be purchased off-the-shelf and used as-is,or the doctor can hire a consultant to modify the software to accommodate the needs of thedoctor. The software is specifically designed to be used by any doctor's office, but wouldnot be useful to any other entity. Fact|date=May 2008
