In the 'old days', we used "Prefixing" as you have mentioned.
Now we have chosen to use "Postfixing" instead, this allows the Work-flow-object (AL,Filter,guide..) to be listed "next to each other" in the admin tool. When customizing, we might DISABLE the OTB object, then clone it (Save as) and put a "_IFX" at the end, tweak it, and then enable it. We elected to use the _ because it can be used to parse the object name. Note that we have discussed internally using 2 of the _ characters for better parsing as some OTB objects have a single _ in them. Remember that an "upgrade" should not ENABLE a disabled object, but will IMPORT it if it is deleted. However, you will quickly want to prevent your Administrators and Incident/Problem Investigators from using the output of WECSOG on themselves... having "it works this way for them, and that way for those guys" is quite confusing say the least when trouble-shooting, and training, and...

For example, In previous version of application being customized for the ACME corporation you might have named a new active link on the HPD:HelpDesk form something like this: ACM:HPD:ThisIsMyNewActiveLink We are now doing minor customizations that are company specific - the logical approach is to just add another layer in the mix. So the WECSOG (Wile E. Coyote School of Gunsmithing) division of ACME might have an active link named something like.... ACM:WECSOG:HPD:ThisIsMyNewActiveLink This seems solid enough - but I'd like to hear any other strategies people might have come up with for doing company-specific customizations while utilizing multi-tenancy.
