Creating an information system for evaluating investments in the field of information technology is a relevant task as it influences the efficiency of resource utilization in this strategically important sector. Information technologies are rapidly evolving, and proper investment evaluation can contribute to maximizing profitability and reducing risks. The research highlights various approaches to addressing this issue, each defined by its own characteristics. The study analyzes the investment process, proposing a mathematical model for investment problems in the form of a multi-criteria optimization task with Boolean variables. A structural approach is used to depict the principles of the system’s operation and information flows. Development tools are selected, and a prototype of the software is implemented. Further research directions include system verification and the development of additional modules to enhance functionality.
