This article analyzes the use of CASE tools applied to Business Intelligence (BI) as support for strategic decision-making in higher education institutions in the state of Sinaloa, taking the National Technological Institute of Mexico (TecNM) as a case study. Through a comparative and recommendation-based approach, various CASE tools oriented toward BI process management are examined, including Power BI, Pentaho, Talend, and Oracle Data Integrator, with the aim of determining their relevance and efficiency in academic environments. The research was conducted under a quantitative-descriptive approach, using information from TecNM’s statistical records between 2019 and 2025. A methodological model based on the stages of the BI process (extraction, transformation, loading, modeling, and visualization) was implemented to evaluate the performance of the tools in each phase. The results show that Power BI and Pentaho offer greater adaptability for public educational institutions due to their ease of implementation, technical support, and compatibility with different data sources. Likewise, opportunities were identified in the automation of the ETL flow through Talend and in scalability with Oracle Data Integrator. The study concludes that the integration of CASE tools into institutional BI systems contributes to the consolidation of a culture of evidence-based decision-making, improving administrative efficiency, transparency, and the analytical capacity of higher education institutions.
