This paper empirically investigates how adoption of IT governance and management processes, as identified in the IT governance framework COBIT 5, relates to the level of IT-related goals achievement, which in turn associates to the level of enterprise goals achievement. Simultaneously, this research project provides an international benchmark on how organizations are currently adopting the gove...

This paper presents a multi-agents architecture which facilitates the integration of three major IT governance frameworks: COBIT5, ITIL V3 and ISO/IEC27002, to optimize the construction of a distributed system. This architecture proposes a new and easier method to develop a distributed multi agents system, where agents involved in this system can communicate in a distributed way thanks to funct...

As a matter of fact, SOA-based systems have a huge internal complexity due to plenty of services. On the one hand, this complexity enables and strongly supports the flexible alignment of the enterprise architecture with business processes. On the other hand, it requires a special management and control framework – provided by SOA Governance. For IT Governance, many accepted approaches exist. In...

Organizational decision-makers are confronted with pervasive Information Technology. Investments in Information Technology form a large portion of total investments, requiring a focus on the governance of IT. One prevalent IT Governance Framework is COBIT 5. Despite its widespread use, there is a claimed lack of research on COBIT 5. To validate this claim, we have looked at academic literature ...

Increasing consideration of the concept of sustainability within information technology (IT) organizations and information systems (IS) management has lead to rising challenges regarding the application of existing, nonor partially sustainable IT process models. Although IT reference models exist within the scope of sustainable IS management, the integration of sustainability aspects into well-...

service oriented architecture (soa) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. implementation of soa brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. these challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of soa. soamay often need to ...

Automated services help enterprises create new value from reuse of software and resources and achieve new levels of agility through greater flexibility and lower cost structures. As services come in many flavors and guises they have differing characteristics. In this paper we describe the most necessary aspects and features of automated services. We also focus on the interplay of SOAs and Busin...

IT governance (ITG) provides a toolbox for companies to realize maximum value from IT. Firms implement ITG via frameworks, such as COBIT or VALIT, which list processes to align business and IT strategies, deliver IT services and comply with regulations. While there exists evidence that companies with mature ITG processes outperform their competitors and that signaling ITG maturity to external s...

This work deals with IT governance integration in an information system (IS), since it’s one of the main worries to maintain alignment between information technologies and business strategy. It uses COBIT as IT Governance framework saw its generic, and flexible appearance to produce a measurable picture of the current state of IS, through structured IT control activities. It appealed to Loose I...

In service-oriented architecture (SOA) relies on a proficient resolution come within to integrate and potentially distributed in the banking industry software design and enterprise. There is still lack of knowledge and service. Service oriented Architectures are exploring of great important role of evaluation, purchase and ongoing use of design pattern practices of the system. This paper focuse...
