Abstract
An aspect of the present invention facilitates secure data exchange between entities. In one embodiment, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system (provided according to aspects of the present invention) sends on behalf of a first entity, a link to a second entity, the first entity being an authorized user of the ERP system and the second entity being an unauthorized user of the ERP system. Upon receiving an indication that the link has been selected by the second entity in an end user system, the ERP system verifies the second entity based on the link and facilitates the second entity to either view a first data stored in the ERP system or add a second data to the ERP system.
