English term or phrase: commoditization
"the growth of laboratory automation is fueled by the commoditization of hardware and software".

Conosco il senso di commoditization, e ho visto che viene ampiamente usata anche in italiano, ma preferirei tradurla...

Come posso renderla in modo breve ma efficace?
Grazie

Explanation:
sinceramente preferisco la parafrasi qui sopra al termine singolo
(mercificazione?!?) che rischia di non esprimere bene lo stesso concetto.

Explanation:
Io l'ho intesa così leggendo queste righe stralciate dalle pagine web indicate sotto:

An important thing you notice from all these examples is that it's easy for software to commoditize hardware (you just write a little hardware abstraction layer, like Windows NT's HAL, which is a tiny piece of code), but it's incredibly hard for hardware to commoditize software.

Maybe, but the fact that Java bytecode also commoditizes the hardware is some pretty significant collateral damage to sustain.

(That's how you commoditize your complement). For years Microsoft had its own p-code compiler and portable windowing layer which let Excel run on Mac, Windows, and OS/2, and on Motorola, Intel, Alpha, MIPS and PowerPC chips.


Commoditized products are inputs into innovation. The fact that they are commoditized actually means it's easier and cheaper to use them innovatively to gain a competitive advantage.
