Samarbetsklienter

Samarbetsklienter is a Swedish term used to describe clients that participate in collaborative arrangements with a service provider, platform, or network. The concept emphasizes joint work, shared goals, and mutual obligations rather than a simple buyer-seller relation.

In information technology and digital platforms, samarbetsklienter may refer to entities that connect to a collaborative service to enable co-creation, data sharing, or distributed workflows. These clients typically have defined roles, permissions, and governance arrangements to manage access, data handling, and security.

In business ecosystems, samarbetsklienter are participants that contribute resources, data, or expertise to a shared offering. Agreements between the parties outline responsibilities, access rights, revenue or savings distribution, and accountability.

Key considerations include data protection and privacy, consent management, interoperability standards, service-level expectations, and governance structures that address decision rights, risk sharing, and dispute resolution. The exact meaning can vary by sector and organization.

Typical contexts include collaborative platforms for professional services, joint product development consortia, multi-tenant cloud services with partner participants, and public-sector projects where several stakeholders act as samarbetsklienter.

Etymology: samarbete meaning cooperation and klient meaning client. The term is primarily used in Swedish-language discourse and may be adopted in international contexts as a generic label for cooperative clients.
