Las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MIPYMES) son una fuente de empleo para la zona, en la actualidad enfrentan barreras con el uso de las Tecnologías de Información (TI) como consecuencia del desconocimiento de los aportes y la adaptación de las funcionalidades, generando un desaprovechamiento de estas herramientas las cuales facilitan la gestión financiera. Debido a que, en los cantones de Osa, Golfito y Corredores no se han encontrado investigaciones sobre el tema propuesto, se ve la necesidad de conocer: ¿cómo influye el uso de las tecnologías de información como proceso para la toma de decisiones en la gestión financiera de las MIPYMES, ubicadas en los cantones antes mencionados, durante el periodo 2018-2019? En esta investigación se considera los siguientes objetivos: (1) describir algunas de las TI existentes en el mercado actual, orientadas a la gestión financiera, detallando sus funcionalidades, limitaciones y tipo de licencia; (2) identificar las tecnologías que utilizan las MIPYMES ubicadas en los cantones anteriormente mencionados; (3) determinar las actividades o procesos de toma de decisiones a los que afecta el uso de las TIC; (4) proponer un proceso para la implementación de software orientado a la gestión financiera, con el fin de facilitar su aplicación efectiva. Esta investigación es cualitativa con carácter exploratorio, descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo, se ha elaborado a partir de la recopilación de datos bibliográficos. Para la recolección de la información se llevó a cabo una investigación exhaustiva en internet y la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a las poblaciones de estudio. En cuanto a los resultados se determina la variedad de herramientas existentes en el mercado actual, un desaprovechamiento de las funcionalidades con las que cuentas las herramientas utilizadas por las MIPYMES, así como para la toma de decisiones financieras y una propuesta como guía de pasos a seguir para la adquisición e implementación de software orientado a la gestión financiera en las MIPYMES, con el propósito de disminuir la brecha tecnológica.
