The deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in small textile companies in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, is the purpose of research. This was exploratory, qualitative, conducted through interviews with the socio-owners of these industries. Data analysis adopted the technique of content analysis. The results show that companies have gone beyond the initial steps of deployment experiencing few difficulties. The main problems were: difficulty in establishing a minimum level of investment in ICT is a shortage of financial resources or even lack of need; little variety of applications or systems to micro textile company; resistance on the part of employees in the use of ICT. Where the socio-owner does not decide alone, or even the management was replaced by the successor, there is greater progress on the deployment of ICT tools in general.
