Implementing integrated management systems

Answer: Considering the number of people you stated, an implementation, including the certification process, usually takes between six and eight months. Since you are thinking about implementing multiple standards, the implementation may vary, but you can take advantage of the similar structure of ISO standards to save some time and money implementing common requirements, like planning, internal audit and management review.
The maintenance process is an ongoing process that will last until the organization decides it does not want the certifications any more. The certification cycle is three years for all standards you mentioned.
Most of the outsourced activities your organization has will be handled by contractual clauses.
