Can anyone give me examples of what "Canned" software is? Is it software like MS Works or MS Office or is it more like MS Access and MS Excel type off the shelf programs?
All those you listed are canned.
Some examples of uncanned software would be a department of the U.S. government hiring Lockheed Martin to design and build a smart internal search engine, or you hiring a company to customize a Web front-end to your company's needs.

An off-the-shelf solution is canned versus a custom solution.
