Resumo
Currently, Higher Education Institutions in Brazil depend on software to carry out their
activities. Thus, the choice of software to be used can influence the teaching process. And the
institution budget Proprietary software can, among other things, disrupt the budget due to
license costs and, in addition, there is the possibility of lock-in to proprietary standards and
solutions. Free software (FS) can be an alternative, but it also can create other needs, such as
training of students and technicians. Based on this, it is understandable the need to make a
decision on which modality of software to use. Several studies have already identified factors
that help this decision on adoption or not of FS. However, these works do not contemplate a
method for decision making that considers the relevance of such factors. In this sense, this
study proposes the construction of a decision-making matrix regarding the adoption or not of
an FS considering the perception of different actors in the university. For this, the Analytical
Hierarchy Process was used as a method to aid in multi-criteria decision making. The
construction of this matrix was made using interviews with semi-structured scripts and
questionnaires. The interviews was used to verify the adequacy of the identified factors to the
local reality and the questionnaires for the creation of the matrix with the prioritized factors.
Finally, the matrix was validated through a case study with the distinct actors. The results
showed that the matrix enabled the identification of the most suitable software in accordance
with the opinion of the actors and identified the criteria with the greatest and least impact in
the evaluation of the software's characteristics.
