This research object is the Information Technology (IT) and it aims to perform a diagnostic analysis of such field at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz). In order to obtain guidance, a cross-sectional study of an exploratory and descriptive nature was carried out. Such study covered 23 Units of Fiocruz Foundation. A questionnaire about their IT structure was answered, as well as questions about processes, exchanging data and suggestions so that the IT can be aligned to the institutional mission. The recovery of the IT history at Fiocruz was also performed, having (with the sources of) institutional documents as source. It was noted that the IT appears in progress over time. However, such discussions do not put IT on focus, but in a position of support to projects, responding to emergencies. The need of creating a continued training plan for the IT professionals was verified. It was also noticed that the sub-area of Corporate Systems is far short the ideal. The low utilization of free softwares and the use of unsupported operating systems at workstations was verified. There are few professionals involved with the Security of Information. For IT area, the implantation of a new decentralized model is suggested, under the coordination of a central level.
