The software unit controlling an object's transactions would be accessible through the catalog, as would the detailed attributes of each enterprise object (either shared data or object-specific data).

The DEM Catalog would serve as a Table of Contents to the enterprise management environment.

The DEM uses each software unit, an object, to process a specific transaction within an activity. This reduces the need for complex, multilevel menus for functional processes, work centers, and tasks. The DEM Catalog guides the user to the transaction. The DEM allows standardized and shared software units among activities. Thus, transaction modeling and development of software are simpler. The reliance on large software design projects would diminish. We can apply object-oriented programming techniques to software units, modularizing down to the transaction level.
