Abstract

The implementation of IT governance is important to lead and evolve the information system in agreement with stakeholders. This requirement is seriously amplified at the time of the digital area considering all the new technologies that have been launched recently (Big DATA, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep learning, etc.). Thus, without a good rudder, every company risks getting lost in a sea endless and unreachable goal. This paper aims to provide decision-making system that allows professionals to choose IT governance framework suitable to desired criteria and their importance based on a multi-criteria analysis method (WSM), we did implement a case study based on a Moroccan company. Moreover, we present a better understanding of IT Governance aspects such as standards and best practices. This paper goes into a global objective that aims to build an integrated generated meta-model for a better approach of IT Governance.

Highlights

IntroductionFollowing the statistics provided by the Club of Large French IT Companies (CIGREF) in 2017, 51% of companies rely on COBIT for the governance of their information systems (IT), while 16% use internal processes and 32% are not inspired by COBIT in the world [22]
IT is a business asset that is gaining a lot of importance in the last decades in every industry especially regarding the spread of new technologies.Following the statistics provided by the Club of Large French IT Companies (CIGREF) in 2017, 51% of companies rely on COBIT for the governance of their information systems (IT), while 16% use internal processes and 32% are not inspired by COBIT in the world [22]
Outside, when we focus on governance practices in IT governance, we come across several sources (ITIL, CNIL, SOX, CMMI, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 14000, ISO 17799, ISO 27001, 27002, 27003, 27005...) each reference offer a partial view of IT Governance [10]

Summary

Introduction

Following the statistics provided by the Club of Large French IT Companies (CIGREF) in 2017, 51% of companies rely on COBIT for the governance of their information systems (IT), while 16% use internal processes and 32% are not inspired by COBIT in the world [22]. Moroccan companies have to make a lot of effort regarding IT governance [20]. The goal of this paper is to provide the most complete IT governance approach based on existing models and complement this research with other best practices in several IT domains. We will clarify the difference between several concepts similar to the definition of the standards. We will carry out a comparative study between the different frameworks specifying their strengths and weaknesses we will implement a decision system based on the analysis of a Moroccan company. Companies can weigh the criteria and produce the choice of reference to adopt based on their own needs
