  • Patent number: 11063829
    Abstract: A secure collaborative data communications network having a primary node, associated with a primary entity, enabling structure or collaborative features of a secondary node using template arrangements. Top level templates define an operating environment, including a network, compute and store. Next level templates define a business operating environment, including processes, apps, collaborative content (e.g., across documents), and lists. A secondary node of a secondary entity under control of the primary entity replicates collaboration of structure and/or features of the primary node. The primary node advantageously enables structure or feature collaboration using such an arrangement of templates with the secondary node replicating collaboration more rapidly compared to time-consuming manual independent configuration of both nodes that is ordinarily done.
