The word is made up of 'darüber' (over that/about that) and 'hinaus' (beyond) and literally means 'beyond that'. The recommended and most common spelling is as two words: 'darüber hinaus' (in addition/furthermore).

He completed his tasks and, in addition, helped his colleague.
When 'darüber hinaus' (in addition/furthermore) stands at the beginning of a sentence (position 1), the verb follows in position 2. This is called inversion.

'Darüber hinaus' (in addition/furthermore) is mainly used in written language or in formal speeches to connect arguments or information. It sounds more formal than 'außerdem' (also/in addition).

also / besides
'außerdem' and 'darüberhinaus' both add another piece of information or another aspect. Their meaning is almost the same. 'außerdem' is very common in everyday language and sounds simple. 'darüber hinaus' sounds a little more formal and fits well in reports, applications, or longer explanations. Important: the normal correct spelling is 'darüber hinaus'.
