Information technology governance is considered one of the innovative practices that can provide support for decision-makers. Interestingly, it has become increasingly a de facto for organizations in seeking to optimise their performance. In principle, information technology governance has emerged to support organizations in the integration of information technology (IT) infrastructures and the delivery of high-quality services. On the other hand, decision-making processes in public sector organisations can be multi-faceted and complex, and decision makers play an important role in implementing technology in the public sector. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on current opportunities and challenges that IT governance is experiencing in the context of public sector services. In this respect, this paper examines the factors influencing the decision-making process to fully appreciate IT governance. Furthermore, this study focuses on combining institutional and individual perspectives to explain how individuals can take decisions in response to institutional influences.

Information Technology (IT) governance deals with how decision-making authority concerning IT is distributed across the firm. Based upon that distribution of authority, different behaviors and consequent decisions can be observed. A fundamental question is the degree of centralization and decentralization of that authority and the ability to standardize. Standardization often has benefits, but there can be negative repercussions if the standard does not take into account localized needs. The dominant governance mechanism has changed as technology and available tradeoffs have changed.

Information technology (IT) governance has been a perennial item on the corporate agenda of many organizations. Ever since IT proved to be more than an administrative tool, researchers and practitioners have pondered its governance. Defined as the locus of IT decision-making authority (Brown & Magill, 1994; Sambamurthy & Zmud, 1999), discussions concerning IT governance have flourished for more than four decades across research communities and boardrooms. Posed as a question of centralization during the 70s, IT governance drifted towards decentralization in the 80s, and the recentralization of IT decision-making was a 90s trend. Today, IT governance is experiencing yet another transformation, and persists as a complex and evolving phenomenon (Grembergen, 2003). As business environments continuously change and new technologies evolve rapidly, how to govern IT effectively remains an enduring and challenging question. This chapter discusses past developments and the present status quo of IT governance, and outlines several critical questions, which are pending future investigation.

At this time, Information technology in the government or called by electronic government (e-government) is an absolute necessity and must be continuously developed as an acceleration tool in strategic policy and decision making. Utilization of e-government aims to improve performance and productivity, improve budget efficiency, transparency and accountability in the delivery of service activities to the communities. The incessant use of e-government in the government both central and regional, of course, not only produces benefit or value to the organization, but also gives a variety of problems and obstacles. To guarantee the benefit and value by using e-government and minimize various problems and obstacles, it is necessary to build information technology governance in the e-government development. In the information technology governance, an organization does not only build information technology facilities and infrastructure, but how information technology is used be able to achieve organizational goals, is able to play a role in the organization's strategic decision making processes and policies and remains in harmony with the architecture framework of information technology development that is has been established. To achieve information technology good governance, strategies are needed in developing existing e-government. The first step is to evaluate the implementation of e-government. Evaluation is done by measuring the level of maturity of e-government that has been applied. This measurement includes a strategic plan for information technology management, maintenance of information technology facilities and infrastructure, management of information technology services that are sustainable and the last is oversight of information technology governance. The scope of this research is e-government which has been implemented in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research method used is a quantitative method using a questionnaire instrument and using the 5th edition of the Control Objective for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) framework model to determine the level of maturity in the information technology governance process. This study will provide an overview of information technology governance has been implemented and produce recommendations that is needed to improve and develop a comprehensive information technology governance.

 Implementation of  Information Technology (IT) in an organization require significant costs with high risk  of  failure [3]. Managing data is  a matter that must be done continuously by the organization and accompanied by monitoring and measurement of achievement that has been done as to meet the aspect of integrity, availablility. In this study using COBIT as a frame work in preparing the guidelines for information technology governance at PT.  X  on  DS11,  which  focuses  on  management of  data  about  the  level  of  concern  for management (management awareness) and  maturity level (maturity level).  The study and analysis indicates that the level of concern for management (management awareness) PT. X already on a fairly level and maturity level for the current maturity level (as is) at level 3 (defined process) and to the expected level of maturity located at level 5 (optimized). From the overall study results showed that PT. X has recognized that the data is an important organizational asset.
