IT (Information Technology) / Collaboration among organizations with regard to data
Dutch term or phrase: Digitale ketensamenwerking
This is an article about digital security (source: een digitale samenleving kan niet zonder digitale veiligheid. In deze uitgave bouwen we voort op het thema digitalisering en ligt het focus op digitale ketensamenwerking).
When I asked my agent-client for a suggestion, he wrote to use Digital Chain Collaboration, but there is almost nothing on the Internet in that direction.
I was thinking along the line of Digital Partner-Collaboration, but I am not fully convinced of this either.
Any leads are appreciated.

digital supply-chain collaboration
Explanation:
First a definition from Wikipedia:

"Ketensamenwerking is een vorm van samenwerking tussen partijen die opeenvolgend met elkaar samenwerken aan één product of proces. Ketensamenwerking is de vorm van samenwerking tussen partijen onderling die in eerste instantie geen directe zakelijke afspraak met elkaar behoeven te hebben, maar indirect gezamenlijk wel verantwoordelijk zijn voor het tot stand komen van een project."

And an example of its use in English ("supply chain collaboration" gets 150,000 hits):

"Although collaboration offers many benefits for consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, too often their joint initiatives don't work out. To ensure success, partner companies should take these six actions together.

"Supply chain collaboration is a hot topic today—and no wonder: companies that collaborate effectively across the supply chain have enjoyed dramatic reductions in inventories and costs, together with improvements in speed, service levels, and customer satisfaction."

"Collaboration between companies—joint initiatives that go beyond their normal course of day-to-day business, with the aim of delivering significant improvement over the long term—is particularly attractive for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector."

Notes to answerer
Asker: I have come across this term as well, but I think 'supply chain collaboration' refers to 'traditional' commerce. I am looking to see if there is a term used for Internet commerce, especially with regard to Internet security.

agree  katerina turevich: sounds completely normal to me. Internet security is the same market as any.

  -> Yes, you can't really separate bricks and mortar from clicks and mortar today.
agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: "digital supply-chain collaboration" as opposed to "brick and mortar supply-chain collaboration". Anyway, "digital supply-chain collaboration" is what it says.
34 mins
agree  Michael Beijer: Definitely correct. I'm not sure it should be hyphenated though (I can't find a single source online that does).
37 mins
  -> That's because the hyphen is dying out, and because Google disregards them. But strictly speaking, you need one to show which words belong together.
agree  Kitty Brussaard: The term 'supply chain collaboration" applies to collaboration within any type of supply chain. In this case, "digital supply chain collaboration" or "collaboration within the digital supply chain" do indeed sound perfectly OK to me.
45 mins
agree  Jack den Haan: @Michael: should definitely be hyphenated IMHO. Cf. a classical example: 'a man eating alligator' <> 'a man-eating alligator' ;-) // Bet you'll never forget that one, Phil :-)
1 hr
  -> I was looking for an example in reply to Michael, and you've provided it for me!//Especially since it's a popular delicacy where I live.
