Cross-platform development is crucial for creating solutions that address the needs of a diverse computing community. Using this process enables Kitware developers to be flexible and work in an environment that maximizes the use of our resources, whether it is a specific workstation, server, or diskspace.

By developing and testing our projects in different environments, we ensure a much more robust software solution. Additionally, by using cross-platform development methodologies, we have streamlined our system and data backup processes, further contributing to our high-quality development process.
