The article deals with the problems of communication between the customer and the development team in the process of designing information systems. Based on the identified shortcomings of existing solutions, a conclusion is made about the need to develop a new approach and means of its implementation. The paper sets the task of developing a common model for the interaction of subjects using a single platform. The article describes the concept and modular architecture of the platform for implementing the system notation for designing architectural schemes. The modules of such a platform and its general functionality are considered.

This paper examines the effectiveness of the software framework developed by the authors for the task of  sonar information systems software design. This is done by a theoretical estimate based on the data obtained during the actual production process, as well as practical by rebuilding the software using the skeleton. Fixed a set of indicators on which to judge the complexity and evaluated there . Finally, an assessment of the results of the experiment and draw conclusions about the direction of further research.
