Specific technologies that can be applied to develop and maintain the information systems for any resource domain are shown above. Note that all of these technologies are available commercially, or can be rapidly prototyped and implemented using commercially available tools and components.

Building the engine and major elements of the DEMIS is shown here as building the "Strategic Management Environment" within an "Advanced Catalog/Profile Environment". The remaining commercial technologies, and the information systems resulting from these technologies, can be integrated by the DEMIS into a single "improvement" environment.
