Please clarify a bit.

What point are you trying to get across? Will your coworkers be working with those packages?

Yea, maybe you should clarify with your boss what the audience intends to DO with these things. If you start laying out the architecture of Sharepoint Portal Server and the 3.0 SPS, then talk about relational databases and SQL, you're going to bore (and confuse) the shit out of someone who just needs to upload their Word docs to a preconfigured Sharepoint Server.

Are they end users? Administrators? Mid-level technical staff? What will they be doing, 80% of the time? Focus on that.

I have to do these kinds of presentations all the time. Really the best thing I can suggest is some of those built in "pretty" images and some arrows to show the flow of data between the users and the various programs. For example

User -> GUI Frontend -> Database -> OtherDatabase -> etc

That way you can talk more to the items and not rely on visuals.
"So you will be presented with a nice front end with some mandatory fields. After filling out the form, it will be sent to XXX to clean the data and then sent to YYY database for storage. Program ZZZ has read only access to YYY database and provides information for our HR system"

Something along those lines. You want a basic presentation that you can elaborate on.

That's lots of different things. What's the common thread?

Why itil and .net and Oracle in the one presentation?

But I can empathise. Agree with a previous poster, just give them a block diagram with arrows. That's all they can handle.

Diagrams take ages to prepare, but I've found that you can create a nice one with shading/colours etc, then simply rearrange it to suit many situations. : >
