interop
Cross-platform data exchange
Interop is short for interoperability—the ability of different systems, software, or devices to work together and exchange information.
Tech professionals use it as both noun and verb: We need to interop with their legacy database, The interop between platforms was seamless.
Common in software development, networking, and healthcare IT, where disparate systems must communicate.
