There are several projects testing [[wikipedia:Natural_language_processing|Natural Language Processing]] to support uses cases within ROEB. [[Project Cipher]] is a prime example of this technology to support the inspection programs. [[Project Cipher]] began as a [https://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Health_Canada_Innovation_and_Experimentation Solutions Fund] project to test the technology applied to inspection observations to create an automated process to assign risk to each observation and other business process requirements critical within many inspection programs (for example: assignment of "Standard Lines").

Those attempting to sell illicit products online can employ filters on their websites to redirect traffic from government servers to an alternate website that is compliant with the Acts and Regulations.  In addition, they can use trackers that detect when a government server has attempted to access their website, giving them the opportunity to hide any non-compliant products prior to an inspection.

The virtual workstations being tested are accessible from any departmental computers through web browser.  The goal is for these workstations to allow inspectors to visit websites without being identified as being on a government network, and also make it easier to acquire and use tools that can be used for monitoring compliance of the online marketplace, such as web-scrapers and browser extensions.

There is a growing need to incorporate [[wikipedia:Geospatial_(disambiguation)|geospatial]] information as part of the analyses conducted by many ROEB inspection programs. The [[ROEB Transformation Office|Transformation Office]] is examining GIS technology to support various data augmentation needs. [[Project Sia]] is examining GIS platforms to integrate data to inform Compliance & Enforcement decisions using map-based visualization tools. Example technology: [https://storymaps.arcgis.com/ ArcGIS StoryMaps]

POD-TBI is currently leveraging low-code development to build software applications faster by reducing the need to code by as much as 95%. With a low-code application development platform, one can use visual development tools—such as drag-and-drop modelers and point-and-click interface creation—to enable the rapid creation, deployment, and maintenance of powerful business apps. By reducing development time, projects can be delivered at significantly lower costs. [https://appian.com/ Appian] is the platform currently being employed to transform business applications used by five inspection programs within ROEB.
