The empirical study is carried out in six Higher Education Institutions in the northeast of Mexico (94 questionnaires) by means of a statistical tool known as Partial Least Squares. The results show that Programmer Skills and Information Quality are the elements with most impact, mainly in the Decision Making (60% of explained variance).
