This article shows the process of design, development, and implementation of a platform created to form an environment for identification and timely characterization of knowledge, skills, and profiles of new students, through the treatment of data and information technologies, during the process of institutional admission exams in higher education. For its construction, work has been done through a methodology based on best software engineering practices, developing various modules that integrated achieve the functionality required to function as information management and analysis platform. The antecedents found allowed to determine that before the approach of this platform, there was only generalized software, adaptable with some difficulties, destined to the application of exams, distant from the raised vision of a platform for data exploration. This work aims to provide the host institution and all public and / or private higher education institutions with a tool that allows them to have bases for timely decision making and the taking of relevant actions that contribute to the proper training of professionals from its initial stages, through an early identification of skills and profiles of its applicants.
