After you create a Telecommunications Event Data Analytics application, you can customize it to suit your environment and business needs.
Customization is the process to adapt a Lookup Manager or ITE application to your business data schemes and to implement the business rules.
The configuration step focuses on the built-in features of the application framework by enabling, disabling, or configuring features. Customization requires deep knowledge of the processed data, the business rules that are applied, and the expected results.
Typically, the Lookup Manager application is adapted by using a single XML file while the ITE application requires SPL development skills.

Typically, you want to adapt the application to your business needs. This adaption requires configuration and customization steps.
