The article outlines the conceptual and corresponding formal models of the formation of usage effects of information operations. Such models are used, for example, to estimate the usage performance, efficiency, and effectiveness indicators of information technology. In addition, such models could be used for the estimation of dynamic capability and indicators of system potential regarding the use of information technology. The estimation is obtained by plotting the dependences of predicted values of operational properties of the use of information technology against the variables and options of the problems to be solved. To develop this type of models, we analyzed the use of information operations during system functioning. This is done through an example of a technological system. Basic concepts, principles, assumptions, and models are provided for such model construction. The method for the formalization of research problems is provided. The construction process for research problem models is explained. It is based on meta-modeling techniques and the construction of functional graph-theoretic models. Examples of models constructed for the estimation of system potential indicators regarding the use of information operations are given. An example of the estimation of system potential indicators is considered based on diagramming tools for business process modeling
