tech ecosystem

Interconnected software environment

A tech ecosystem is the interconnected network of companies, products, services, and platforms that work together within a technology environment.

Apple's ecosystem includes iPhones, Macs, iCloud, and the App Store—devices and services designed to integrate seamlessly.

The term implies both interdependence and lock-in: Once you're in the Google ecosystem, switching gets harder.

Ecosystem suggests organic complexity, as if these business relationships evolved naturally rather than being engineered for profit.
