Plattformsübergreifend

Plattformsübergreifend is a German term that translates to "cross-platform" in English. It describes software, hardware, or applications designed to function across multiple operating systems or technological environments. This means a program developed with a cross-platform approach can be used on different devices, such as Windows PCs, macOS computers, Linux systems, or even mobile devices like Android and iOS, without requiring separate versions for each platform.

The primary advantage of developing and using plattformsübergreifend solutions is increased reach and accessibility. Users can access the same software or service regardless of the device they are using, promoting a consistent experience. For developers, it often means writing code once and deploying it on multiple platforms, which can save time and resources compared to developing native applications for each individual operating system. This approach is common in web development, where browsers act as a universal platform, and in the creation of mobile applications using frameworks that support cross-platform deployment. The goal is to provide a unified user experience and a broader market penetration.
