Which preposition to use with "Customize"?

Could anyone kindly help me out with this one:

"Any of our administrative solutions can be easyly customized FOR your needs"
or
"Any of our administrative solutions can be easyly customized TO your needs"

I would really appreciate if some native speaker could clarify this matter for me.

Thank you in advance

"For" is more often heard, and means that the solutions were customized to help your needs. "To" means more that they were customized to suit your needs. It's a little hard to explain, as the differences are very subtle.

By the way, it's spelled "easily."
