DEMO is an acronym for 'Design & Engineering Methodology for Organizations'. The name also stands for the demonstration that the underlying PSI-theory (Performance in Social Interaction) is a viable basis for practically dealing with organizational changes of all kinds.
An organization is viewed to consist of three aspect organizations: the B-organization (Business), the I-organization (information), and the D-organization (Data). The B-organization represents the essence of the organization,since it is completely independent from the way in which this essence is realized an implemented. A full understanding of the B-organization is the correct starting point in the (re-)engineering of an organization, which ultimately includes the software used to support the business processes.

In the projects which are carried out by businesses in the Soil, Road and Water Construction sector, intensive communication takes place between the parties involved. 
With the DEMO methodology the various collaborating roles have been defined and agreements have been made about the format and meaning of messages exchanged between parties involved. These agreements have been dubbed VISI, which stands for the creation of conditions for the implementation of standardisation of ICT in construction.
The benefit of VISI is the increased effciciency of collaboration, thanks to the clear communication process.
