Investment Information Technology (IT) has always been a primary objective of the business which is expected to provide value to businesses through its role as a competitive advantage and the creation of innovation. However, it is ot easy to measure how much value is successfully created, or determine whether the IT strategy is aligned with business strategy, or find out if the IT organization has a strategy that focuses on creating business value. Innovation Value of Institute (IVI) introduces a new concept known as the IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) which can help IT organizations to align the business vision with the IT vision so that IT strategy could focus on value creation . the IT-CMF implementation which begins with the assessment of the maturity of IT organization can provide an overall picture, so that organization can prioritize the development of appropriate IT investments to support the value creation for the overall business.

Since the 1990s, organizations have gradually become involved in the transformation of their information technology (IT) management process. In order to determine the direction of IT development in correlation with business needs, a consolidated management approach is imposed. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the maturity level of IT management process in an organization. For this purpose, an empirical study in a Romanian public service company was done by using the benchmarking technique and Capability Maturity Model to describe the maturity level of IT management process. Four benchmarking classes, including a number of 24 benchmarks, were taken into account to focus on the main key issues - IT management strategy and IT planning; alignment of business strategy, IT strategy, organizational structure, and IT infrastructure; and information systems security management. The study reveals that the IT management process is mainly focused on technological dimension and less on the managerial one. It was observed that IT managers have a low awareness of managerial skills in planning, organizing, controlling, and leading the IT activities. Practical implication of the study presents two major issues: 1) on one hand, the need to approach a transversal vision in managing the IT process by aligning it to a complex set of choices, reflecting both a strategic and functional perspective and, 2) on the other hand, this study may be useful for managers looking to improve management of the IT department as well as the quality of their services. The study also indicates specific recommendations to refine the IT management process of Romanian companies.

Multiple Levels

Most organizations have multiple levels of strategic plans (de Kluyver & Pearce, 2006), one of which is the Information Technology (IT) strategic plan. The alignment of an organization’s business strategy with its IT strategy has been a concern of CIOs (Benson & Standing, 2008; Croteau & Bergeron, 2001; Johnston, Muganda, & Theys, 2007; Luftman Kempaiah, & Nash, 2006), CEOs (Armstrong, Chamberlain, Moore, & Hart, 2002; O’Brien & Marakas, 2006), academic researchers (Henderson & Venkatraman, 1999; Kangas, 2003; Pearlson & Saunders, 2004; Reich & Benbasat, 2000), and research companies (Broadbent, 2000; Croteau & Bergeron, 2001; Meta Group, 2001) since the age of vacuum tubes. The Society for Information Management (SIM) studies reveal that ‘IT and Business Alignment’ was the number one management concern in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and has been one of the top 10 concerns since 1983(Luftman et al., 2006). IT and business strategies should not be separate or aligned; organizations should simply have one business strategy: one organization, one strategy.

Appraisal Method

This study aims to evaluate the suitability of business strategies and Information Technology (IT) strategies at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) with COBIT 5 best practices. Researchers observe how UNG is planning business strategies and IT then compared with the best COBIT practice 5. The method used in this study is qualitative which includes interviews with interested parties and document studies related to business strategies and IT strategies. The model used is COBIT 5 in the APO domain APO02 process which consists of 31 activities and, SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement) as a valuation method. The results showed that the alignment of business strategy and IT strategy in UNG had approached the process of alignment of business strategy and IT strategy in COBIT 5. Another important thing found in this study was that planning activities for aligning business strategies and IT strategies at UNG had almost approached. COBIT 5 best practice, however, does not guarantee that overall business and IT activities at UNG are aligned, this is evidenced by the finding of 3 processes that have major weaknesses because there is no activity or evidence of practices carried out referring to COBIT 5. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kesesuaian strategi bisnis dan strategi teknologi informasi (TI) di Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) dengan best practice COBIT 5. Peneliti melakukan pengamatan bagaimana UNG melakukan perencanaan strategi bisnis dan TI kemudian dibandingkan dengan best practice COBIT 5. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang meliputi wawancara dengan pihak yang berkepentingan dan studi dokumen terkait strategi bisnis dan strategi TI. Model yang dipakai yaitu: COBIT 5 pada domain APO proses APO02 yang terdiri dari 31 aktivitas dan, SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Proses Improvement) sebagai metode penilaian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa aktivitas penyelarasan strategi bisnis dan strategi TI di UNG telah mendekati proses aktivitas keselarasan strategi bisnis dan strategi TI pada COBIT 5. Hal penting lainnya yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini adalah meskipun aktivitas perencanaan penyelarasan strategi bisnis dan strategi TI di UNG telah hampir medekati best practice COBIT 5 namun, tidak menjamin dalam keseluruhan aktivitas bisnis dan TI di UNG selaras, hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan ditemukan 3 proses yang memiliki kelemahan utama karena tidak terdapat aktivitas atau bukti praktik-praktik yang dilaksanakan merujuk pada COBIT 5.

Competitions faced by companies are some obstacles in achieving the business objectives to maintain the company's growth and survival. The use of information technology trend requires companies to use it in order to compete with competitors. Strategic planning of information system (IS) and information technology (IT) which refer to business strategy should be customized to the company's business processes. The process of finding a future application portfolio is preceded by the discovery of business strategy, IS/IT strategy managemen and IT strategy. The method used is the strategic planning of information system and information technology of Ward and Peppard. The discovery of business strategy through internal and external analysis of the company is done using tools: PEST, SWOT, Porter's five competitive model, Value chain, and CSF. The analysis of the current information systems helps determine the proposed IS and IT plan. The result achieved is strategic system plan and information technology that are appropriate to the company in achieving its business goals.

Resource Allocation Decisions

Strategy can be defined simply as principles, a broad based formula, applied in order to achieve a purpose. These principles are general guidelines guiding the daily work to reach business goals. Strategy is the pattern of resource allocation decisions made throughout the organization. These encapsulate both desired goals and beliefs about what are acceptable and, most critically, unacceptable means for achieving them. While the business strategy is the broadest pattern of resource allocation decisions, decisions that are more specific are related to information systems and information technology. IS must be seen both in a business and an IT context. IS is in the middle because IS supports the business while using IT. This will be discussed later in this book in terms of IT governance as strategic alignment.
