For more than two decades, TRIZ specialists and developers of IT systems have been search-ing for efficient application of methodological tools in the field of software and hardware development. To date, there is a qualified understanding of when and how the use of TRIZ tools can be effective and fundamentally new. It often happens that such an application directly depends on the formulation of tasks at the business level in IT projects. In this paper, on the one hand, four approaches are identified that differ in the nature of interaction between TRIZ and IT systems, and on the other, business tasks are identified and under what conditions certain tools can be most in demand by the IT development community. The problems and potential of TRIZ application for each of the main information objects of IT systems are considered (Structures and diagrams, interfaces, platforms and systems, hardware architecture, process management\network traffic\big data, algorithms and semantics). Also, a study was conducted on the possibilities of methodological and instrumental integration with specialized technologies in IT systems, similar in their properties to a number of modern TRIZ tools (functional analysis of components and processes, flow analysis), so that their application in this area would be the most productive, would allow to develop and streamline the creative potential of teams developing modern software and hardware solutions and artificial intelligence systems. The article also provides examples and tasks for a better understanding of the specifics of objects and parameters by specialists from other industries. In the final part of the article, the importance of the considered issues is supported by the initiative of the organizing committee of the TRIZ Developers Summit to form research workgroups, in accordance with the previously identified four approaches of interaction between TRIZ and IT systems.

Value analysis/value engineering (VA/VE) is a well-known method of technical and economic study of systems since the middle of the 20th century aimed at setting objectives to reduce the cost and functional performance of a system. Despite the widespread and successful utilisation of VA/VE, it has a number of guideline shortcomings related not only to the complexity of estimating the value of the system elements, but also to the uncertainty of unambiguous division of functions by these elements. In addition, the idea of VA/VE actually based on the principles of analysing the dissonance of system parameters can often be applied without relying on the functions of system elements. The Operation Principal Evolution with Cost-Value Analysis (OPECVA) methodology was developed to address these and other shortcomings of VA/VE: among other things, it utilises the Saaty's pairwise comparison method to compare the elements of a system in terms of certain parameters. The OPECVA methodology was implemented in the Compinno-TRIZ software package. The paper describes three types of OPECVA: OPECVA of objects and structures, OPECVA of functions and OPECVA of processes. The OPECVA of flows is reduced to the OPECVA of objects or the OPECVA of processes.
