interoperation
Cross-platform data exchange
Interoperation is the working together of different systems, software, or organizations—the act of interoperating.
The term appears in technical contexts where compatibility matters: Interoperation between the two databases required a custom interface.
The noun interoperability is more common, but interoperation emphasizes the process rather than the capability.
