ИСТИНА

The development of information and communications technologies allow solving various classes of tasks, ranging from the optimization of individual transactions and ending with the construction of systems for implementing strategies at the level of the corporation, the sector or the economy of country as a whole. By increasing the scale of the task, the part of factors outside the control zone grows. However, with the growth of the informational maturity of the economy, the number of zones of inaccessibility are becoming smaller. The article considers the model of engineering services management. For the Russian economic reality, in addition to the micro-level models (a customeroriented approach and the capabilities model), meso-level and macro-level models are actual. As a result of the transition from the planned system of economic activity to market mechanisms, the product chains, uniting a large number of different enterprises, were disrupted. Previously related companies were in various industrial holdings. The existing disunity is aggravated by the existing legal regulation of economic activity. With the object of creating a competitive environment, it does not allow to form the long contracts. These provisions also do not contribute to the formation of longtime strategies for both individual enterprises and the sector. The article shows how the use of information models, being indicative of the life cycle of an engineering project can help solve the accumulated problems.
