The  objective  of  this  paper  is  to  present  a  framework  for  the  evaluation  of  the  impacts  and  of  the possibilities of the new Information Technologies for the organizations. This evaluation considers the ways the organization use information for its activities. The proposed framework was developed based on a revision of the bibliography  on  the  conceptualization  of  Information  Technology,  Information  Systems  and  related Organizational Theory. As Mooney, Gurbaxani e Kraemer (1995, p.7) states, the business value of IT is a joint technology-organization  phenomenon;  therefore  meaningful  investigation  of  this  phenomenon  requires theoretical perspectives of both technology and organizations, and their interaction. Initially  it  will  be  discussed  the  role  of  information  in  organizations.  Then,  based  on  the  roles  of information  presented,  it  will  be  discussed  how  can  IT  contribute  to  organization,  configuring  the  model proposed by these paper.
