Context:
Platform technology is a term for technology that enables the creation of products and processes that support present or future development. It establishes the long-term capabilities of research & development institutes. It can be defined as a structural or technological form from which various products can emerge without the expense of a new process/technology introduction.
In computing platforms, for example, computer hardware
serves as platform for an operating system which in turn
is a platform for Enterprise Infrastructure Software which in turn
is a platform for application software. Transport infrastructure similarly serves as platform for vehicles.
