The efficient operation of large physics experiments is ensured by many factors, one of which is software used for both online and offline systems. At present, a set of information systems is being developed for the NICA experiments, including the first fixed target experiment, BM@N. These information systems are used, among other things, for centralized storage, access and exchange of information being necessary for the experiment. Currently, the software complex of the BM@N experiment contains the following set of the information systems, such as the Online Electronic Logbook (e-Log platform), Configuration Information System, Unified Condition Database (UniConDa), Geometry Database and Event Metadata System (EMS). It is obvious that the systems will be in demand in other experiments of the NICA project, therefore special attention is paid to development of a new common deployment complex that provides convenient, configurable installation of the listed information systems for other particle collision experiments, but primarily for the experiments at NICA. The paper describes the architecture, used methods and approaches to the implementation of the common deployment system, as well as the status of its realization.
