A platform is
| “ | the foundation technology of a computer system. Typically, it is a specific combination of hardware and operating system.[1] | ” |
| “ | [t]he hardware and systems software on which applications software is developed or installed and operated.[2] | ” |
| “ | the digital layer that allows business partners to connect and interact from any applications or devices. Through the technology platform, each player in the value network becomes part of a digital ecosystem.[3] | ” |
| “ | a general descriptor for the type of device and the device's operating system, such as an Android phone or Windows tablet.[4] | ” |
Overview[]
Examples of platforms are the IBM-PC and Apple computers. Today, versions of software must be specially prepared for each platform, since many existing platforms are incompatible with one another.
