Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the need to develop information systems to strengthen Health Surveillance through Strategic Health Surveillance Information Centers (CIEVs). Objective: This article reports the experience of developing an application for the CIEV at Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul. Method: The methodology was qualitative with experience report, with initial meetings with CIEV health professionals and subsequent validation with a group of experts from Leiria, Portugal. Results: In the end, it was observed that the application enabled improvements in the management and local monitoring of surveillance information despite the infrastructure difficulties encountered. Conclusion: Despite the improvements with the application, it was observed that for better integration of surveillance information, integrated action between the entities of the federation and the federal government is necessary.
