Higher education institutions have adopted education, research and cooperation as their main
missions. Students, teachers and non-teaching staff articulate for lecturing, researching and developing
projects and internships, according to the institution goals and strategy. Quality evaluation is of the
utmost importance in the whole process, as it allows providing a competent and rigorous service as well
as maintaining high level of attractiveness for additional funding, through cooperation and research
projects. In this process, well-supported management through rigorous information is necessary,
providing a sound basis for reasoning and improvement. In this paper we present a custom made
application, which we call JagPAD, to integrate, process and visualize information from several
departments and sections, such as student records, human resources, scientific repository and others. This
application is in use at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and constitutes a valuable tool for overall
evaluation of the mission compliance.
