In addition, they havethe participation of the entire academic community and its main objective is to generate information forpolitical, pedagogical and administrative decision-making. From the studies carried out, it was evidentthat the participation of all the segments is fundamental for the improvement of the institution. In thefield of Information and Communication Technologies, this study concludes that each institution, due toits particularities, has given differentiated priorities both regarding information systems and technologicalinfrastructure.
