Software development has great positive impacts on the economy and management of several companies from different segments. There are several studies that show that the advancement of information technology (IT) in recent years has allowed companies to perform operations that were previously unimaginable. Currently, there are several examples of companies that use IT to obtain cost reductions and/or generate competitive advantage. However, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global change in the health scenario has changed the way we work, affecting various socioeconomic areas around the world. When undergoing
changes in consumption patterns, it is necessary for companies and entrepreneurs to think about modifying and adapting strategies, in order to seek ways to meet new market demands. The objective of the work presented here was to analyze the impacts that the Covid-19 Pandemic brought to the daily lives of professionals from micro, small and medium-sized software development companies (MSEs) in the state of Pará, identifying how they adapted to the new reality and what are the legacies left by the crisis.
