  • Systems and methods for RWD app store based collaborative enterprise information management
    Patent number: 9838502
    Abstract: In a collaborative information management system, a set of collaborative information management servers enables the publication of web apps and widgets that provide web app views/functionality to private libraries, public libraries, or semi-public libraries. The set of collaborative information management servers obtains business enterprise data from multiple enterprise information management systems, parses such data, and renders parsed data in a standard format usable by web apps and widgets. The set of collaborative information management servers enables user access to web apps and widgets based on user roles, which can include intra-enterprise roles for users directly employed or hired by a business enterprise as well as extra-enterprise roles for users not directly employed or hired by the business enterprise, such as suppliers, distributors, and/or customers of the business enterprise. User access to web apps can further be based on verifiable user relationships across different business enterprises.
