Abstract: It is long past that companies have only one Quality Management System. The demands of the market, customers / users, the community and, above all, the legal regulations require companies to have multiple Management Systems: QMS (Quality Management System), EMS (Environmental Management System), OHSMS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), CRSMS (Corporate Responsibility Social Management System), FMS (Financial Management System), FSMS (Food Safety Management System), SMS (Security Management Systems), ISMS (Information Security Management Systems), CTCL (Competence of the Testing and Calibration Laboratories), DMS (Dependability Management System), A-BMS (Anti-Bribery Management System). In a single word, the overall quality of business becomes the ultimate goal of any serious company. A large number of standards, the time needed for implementation and the necessary resources become a heavy burden on the resource company.  Integrated Management Systems (IMS) is the only logical solution, but the key problem is how to build a functional system that will remain easily upgraded and expanded with new standards that are expected in the future. This paper gives one possible approach to solving this complex problem.
