Difference between configuration, conversion, and customization

What is the difference between configuration, conversion, and customization?
Conversion ,customization and configuration are part of an oracle implementation project they come in this order
1. configuration/set up
2. Customization
3. Conversion
Configuration is setting up customer specific requirement which generally exist in oracle apps customization is filling the gap between oracle apps and Customer requirement by developing some extension and solution design
Customization is relatively different thing, something that is not a part of oracle apps core product but the client requirement demands it we go for Customization. If the functionality demanded by the client exists in the application, it is to be configured according to his needs by taking some data, this is called configuration
Conversion is structural change of customer data in a form which is compatible with oracle database best of luck. Conversion is the process of mapping the tables from a legacy system to apps system. Sometimes conversions can be from one version to other
