Abstract
In a higher education institution, professors and researchers may have to perform several distinct roles and activities such as teaching, researching, management, and community outreach. The performance evaluation of these professionals must consider a wide range of information, which is used in a complex evaluation process. This work reports the development and introduction of an information system to digitally manage the complete performance evaluation process in a higher education institution (HEI), including the collection, process, and report of information. The ultimate objective of the project was to electronically support the evaluation process, which was attained by collecting and combining data from several sources and later processed. This approach rendered a viable evaluation process that otherwise would be painful to implement.
