Commoditize

What Does It Mean?
What Does Commoditize Mean?
The act of making a process, good or service easy to obtain by making it as uniform, plentiful and affordable as possible. Something becomes commoditized when one offering is nearly indistinguishable from another. As a result of technological innovation, broad-based education and frequent iteration, goods and services become commoditized and, therefore, widely accessible.

Investopedia explains Commoditize
In the past few decades, previously “modern” things such as microchips, personal computers – even the internet itself – have become essentially commoditized.  Combinations of commoditized products such as computers and business software have in effect commoditized many processes, such as business accounting and supply chain management.  In a truly capitalist society, the ability to commoditize anything is seen as a benefit to all, and opens up resources that can be put to better use on innovative enterprises.
