Information is a valuable resource in modern society that has become vertiginously dynamic for all social agents, especially in companies. For this reason, given the reflection on how it is possible to integrate the benefits of technology and information management to generate sustainable competitive advantages, it is necessary to address from a theoretical perspective the elements related to information in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). By virtue of this, in the following document an approximation is made regarding the role played by SMEs as a fundamental axis of the economic and social development of nations and the challenges, limitations and barriers they face, it also exposes theories about the role of information in today's society and how proper management of it can have a significant impact on the competitiveness of organizations. Finally, a final reflection is carried out with the results obtained by applying a quantitative order instrument that, on a Lickert scale, approached small and medium-sized companies to investigate their management and treatment of information systems.
