A Tool Design of Cobit Roadmap Implementation

Over the last two decades, the role of information technology in organizations has changed from primarily a supportive and transactional function to being an essential prerequisite for strategic value generation. The organizations based their operational services through its Information Systems (IS) that need to be managed, controlled and monitored constantly. IT governance (ITG), i.e. the way organizations manage IT resources, has became a key factor for enterprise success due to the increasing enterprise dependency on IT solutions. There are several approaches available to deal with ITG. These methods are diverse, and in some cases, long and complicated to implement. One well-accepted ITG framework is COBIT, designed for a global approach. This paper describes a design of a tool for COBIT roadmap implementation. The model is being developed in the course of ongoing PhD research. Keywords—IT governance; COBIT; Tool design; Roadmap; Implementation
