Abstract
In this chapter, the implementation of an information strategy project in a Portuguese Real Estate company is analyzed. This involves its framing—historical and socio-economic—and a brief description of the activity sector in which the company operates.

Some tools to identify the information needs of business activity developed are described, as well as the role of information as a promoter of competitive advantages.
