In IT, a platform is any hardware or software used to host an application or service. An application platform, for example, consists of hardware, an operating system and coordinating programs that use the instruction set for a particular processor or microprocessor.
When purchasing software, it's important to know what platform the software was written for. Some software is platform-specific, which means the developers have expressly developed their application program to run on one platform -- Windows or Mac, for example. Software can also be cross-platform, which means the developers intended the object code to be executed on more than one platform -- Win/Mac, for example.
