The objective of this study was to analyze the fundamental characteristics of a Strategic Information System for University Management (SI7-GU), designed and implemented at the University of Otavalo in 7cuador to support strategic planning, institutional evaluation and decision making. A ten-stage methodology was applied, which considered the analysis of strategic planning, the availability and the need for information, its compatibility, the identification of the main university processes, and the proposal of a SI7-GU, which was formed by four main modules: academia, research linking and administration, and was based on the client-server model. The results of the implementation of the SI7-GU contributed to the improvement of university management, by automating most of the processes and activities related to planning and institutional evaluation, and considerably facilitated the processing and analysis of information useful for decision making.
