Information Technology Governance in Al Kautsar Islamic Elementary School Using COBIT 5 Framework

Abstract

This study aims to assess the level of maturity of the use of information technology and obtain a gap value which is then analyzed to achieve the expected maturity value. Management of information technology today is very important, not only focused on profit organizations or companies. With good management of information technology, information within an institution can be achieved optimally, so that institutional goals can be achieved in accordance with the established vision and mission. With reference to COBIT 5 Enabling Process on Enterprise Goals and reality in the field after initial research conducted at Al Kautsar Islamic Elementary School, the scope of the framework for developing Information Technology management models focused on operational and staff productivity in the Balanced Scorecard included in the internal section. The focus of this research was chosen because at Al Kautsar Islamic Elementary School the Information Technology process is still in the development stage. From enterprise goals, IT-related goals can be generated, namely 8 applications, information and adequate information technology solutions and 16 competent and highly motivated IT staff. After collecting and processing data, the results of calculations for each process contained in the customer perspective that determine the achievement value of 2 of the targets set, it is expected that the management can meet these targets. Based on the analysis of audit findings using the COBIT 5 framework, for the six IT processes related to previous goals, the operator staff and the system used at Al Kautsar Islamic Elementary School are still largely in the reactive stage. This means that the application of information technology is still based on current needs, without first doing a careful IT governance planning.
