In order to implement an ITSM project successfully in an organization, it is essential to select a suitable ITSM software. Evaluation and selection of the ITSM software packages is complicated and time consuming decision making process. This paper presents an approach for dealing with such a problem. This approach introduces functional, non-functional and fuzzy evaluation method for ITSM software selection. The presented ITIL based approach breaks down ITSM software selection criteria into two broad categories namely functional (service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, continual service improvement according to ITIL V3) and non-functional requirements (quality, technical, vendor, implementation) including totally 46 selection criteria. A facile Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) was customized for ITSM software selection based on identified criteria. The proposed approach is applied to a local Iranian company in the field of IT services in order to select and acquire an ITSM software and the provided numerical example illustrates the applicability of the approach for ITSM software selection. The approach can help practitioners assess ITSM software more properly and have a better software acquisition decision with growth in customer satisfaction and service time reduction.","PeriodicalId":329249,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This causes the need for organizational structures, processes as well as their supporting information systems (IS) to adapt accordingly. Nevertheless it is striking to note that few value management practices explicitly incorporate evolvability as an important criterion for their evaluation of information technology dependent strategic initiatives (ITDSI). In this paper, the authors try to make a contribution regarding this issue. They explore some possibilities for assessing the evolvability of an information technology (IT) application. In addition, a set of five specific management guidelines is proposed to guide organizations, which are willing to address this issue, in their efforts. This should enable an organization to more easily select and deploy evolvable information systems, enhance its overall alignment with its environment and obtain a competitive advantage. The relevance of our approach is demonstrated by showing how it fits within the enterprise goals, IT goals and enabling practices as defined by the COBIT framework.","PeriodicalId":329249,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This study intends to analyse IT governance practices employed in Abu Dhabi public sector and its contexts. The study used a quantitative research approach which helps to reach the objectives of the study, primary data obtained by formulating a set of questionnaires and secondary data obtained by using the reviewed literature. The research found that most known and recommended international standards and IT frameworks and non IT frameworks are applied by Abu Dhabi public sector. These known frameworks and standards that being used are ISO 9001, ITILv3, ISO 27001, ISO 20000, PMBOK, BSC, and COBIT respectively. These non IT frameworks and IT frameworks are used based on public entities need and to increase the efficiency and the performance of public sector organizations as well to comply with governmental regulations and statute. The study proposes many arrangements and best practices that can be applied by both IT governance Board and IT practitioners to have better IT governance and more control on IT assets. These best practices and recommendations if are enforced in the organizations daily activities will help to improve the quality of delivered services, increase effectiveness of IT governance, lower operational cost, increase interoperability between government bodies and brought knowledge and best practices to organization.","PeriodicalId":329249,"journal":{"name":"Int.

They are often associated with product/service innovation, new business models or an enterprise-wide transformation e.g. Enterprise Resource Planning ERP investment. Although these may deliver operational excellence and a competitive advantage, it is a risky endeavour with high failure rates. One of the critical factors to achieve a successful outcome is to develop a sound business case. Many organisations perceive a business case as a valuable instrument for investment justification and decision-making, yet other organisations still do not develop a business case due to insufficient knowledge. In response to this knowledge gap, Ward, Daniel, and Peppard 2008 designed a business case development process that ends on investment approval. Others scholars however call for a continuous usage of business cases throughout the entire investment life cycle. The present research responds to this call with an exploratory case study in order to identify multiple business case tasks that complement the process of Ward et al. 2008. The paper starts with a description of background literature on what constitutes a business case whereof the authors derive a new definition. The authors then set the context and structure for an initial business case process based on the contribution by Ward et al., 2008. The findings of the exploratory case study and the initial business case process are discussed.","PeriodicalId":329249,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. IT Bus.

To allow this tight collaboration, business process management in these collaborative networks is becoming increasingly important. This paper discusses automated support for this networked business process management: automated means to manage business processes that span multiple autonomous organizations. The author starts this paper with a treatment of intra-and inter-organizational business processes to provide a conceptual background for business process management in business networks. The author describes a number of research approaches in this area, including the context of these approaches and the architectures of the automated systems proposed by them. The approaches are described from early developments in the field relying on dedicated technology to current designs based on standardized technology in a service-oriented context. The paper thereby provides an overview of developments in the area of inter-organizational business process management in the spectrum from simple, static business networks to complex, dynamic networks. The author observes that the described BPM research efforts move from pushing new BPM technology into application domains to using BPM to realize business-IT alignment in complex application contexts.","PeriodicalId":329249,"journal":{"name":"Int.
