Connects to your systems of record. Adds the evidence-movement layer.
Open standards for repositories, statistics and development data, institutional identity, and deployment options that respect sensitivity and data residency.
Reference your authoritative systems. Never compete with them.
DER references or synchronises authoritative systems. It does not create competing master records for data already governed elsewhere. Your systems of record stay the source of truth. DER adds a governed evidence-movement layer: discovery, a single trusted record, audience products, approved release and measured use.
Three layers, one audit trail.
Specific integrations are scoped for each deployment.
Systems of record
Where authority stays
Statistical production, research repositories, M&E and project systems, document management and open-data portals remain the authoritative sources.
The DER layer
Where evidence moves
Registry, translation studio, review and publishing, and impact intelligence sit above your sources, with a single audit trail.
Delivery channels
Where it reaches people
Web, email, media, social and partner systems receive approved products and return reach signals.
Open standards, labelled honestly.
Each row shows what is demonstrated today, what is configured per deployment, and what is planned. Enterprise claims stay tied to production validation.

Demonstrated
Cloud, sovereign or on-premise, chosen by sensitivity.
The right option depends on data sensitivity, data residency, operating capacity and total cost of ownership.
Cloud
Fastest to start, well suited to a controlled set of public outputs and regional hosting.
Sovereign or private cloud
For institutions that need national hosting or stronger separation from shared infrastructure.
On-premise
For the most sensitive environments where data must remain inside institutional infrastructure.
