Leveraging existing community structures
Although most of society's admin infrastructure is centred around the system of trade, many of these systems that can be easily re-purposed to facilitate an open access economy.
Resource tracking & inventory
The widespread use of barcoding to facilitate the movement of goods can almost immediately be re-purposed to track resources and gauge supply and demand of commodities without being attached to a trade system. For example, a store that provides goods to an area can use barcode technology to track items in and out of the store and provide essential stock and supply information.
Digital networks and vendors
The internet provides an essential means of instant communication and flow of vital data. Social media sites could continue to provide valuable user interactions, and, under an open access model, would be less proprietary by necessity and could offer valuable social insights freely to all.
Many well established online retailers could easily be re-purposed to the open access model, as they are already populated with user data and have sophisticated warehousing and logistics systems already in place.
Logistics infrastructure
Systems for optimum transport efficiency are already in place and can operate immediately in the open access model.
Civil service and social programs
Staffing in government admin and service departments could and should continue to operate, as they are the best people to continue operating those services. Assuming adoption of the open access methodology, there's no reason why these services would even be interrupted.
