The necessity this work is explained bythe fact that quite often corporations (both customers and developers of integrated management systems or limited IT solutions) together with IT platforms suppliers have to face serious problems when organizing their work on the stages of design, development, implementation and operation of the systems. Usually these difficulties are supposed to be solved in the framework of ordinarymanagement and organizationalpractices. Therefore, a large system integrator and the customer have to look for new solutions, techniques and methods, which form the local corporate standard.

The aim of the studyis to summarize the practice of designing specialized control-management systems with special stands, the latter being illustrated by practical solutions.

This results in a stand, presenting a flexibleconfiguration of IT components demonstrating the possible solutions to the task and building the system. This provides inventorying the whole set of tools of the customer’s IT infrastructure and allows using methods of setting up software configuration and its subsequent implementation in the IT infrastructure. Software products, such as BMC Business Service Management and HP Software Manager, form the logics and processing basis of functioning for control systems and, simultaneously, stand as the software constructing information forms and interfaces. Specialized stands ensure the implementation of hardware and software solutions both for standard tasks and for more difficult ones which are becoming typical within the competence profile of the firm.

This described approach is suitable to apply for solving tasks specific to the experience and competence profile of a particular firm. The effect is gained due to economy at the projects scale, a factor of the experiment-based curve, good training for the team, as well as development of innovative solutions on the basis of the stand. A graph is provided showing the reduction of time of introduction when installing software on the stand.
