Assessment of Contributions of the Methodology for the Construction of a Catalog of Information Technology Services Aimed at Public Entities

Abstract

Several field studies have shown low levels of implementation of this type of catalog in organizations in various countries around the world, which is accentuated in public organizations. To address this problem, the main objective of this research is to demonstrate the contribution of a methodology for the construction of a catalog of information technology services in the management of technology services aimed at public entities, which is tested and assessed in terms of its levels of contribution to the information management of technology services. The methodology used in this research was tested and evaluated by 46 IT professionals working in public organizations in Ecuador, verifying the contribution levels of the proposal in four aspects: 1) the identification of information technology services, 2) the classification of information technology services, 3) feedback from the service catalog as a transversal component, and 4) the automation of all the processes described. Favourable results were obtained regarding the proposed methodology.

Software Development for Educational Information Services Using Multilayering Semantics Adaptation

“…The collection, processing, and dissemination of educational data are enabled by complex new data infrastructures (Williamson, 2018) that incorporate both human actors such as students, lecturers, parents, executives, and staff, as well as nonhuman actors such as departments, curriculums, and quality assurance. While software development methods have been taught at both the graduate and undergraduate levels (Wlodarski et al, 2022), the emergence of new technologies allows for the high achievement of software development challenges associated with ongoing university and business services processes (Ibrahim et al, 2022;Macias & Aguilar-Alonso, 2022;Mandal, 2022). The quality of the software is critical when developing a complex software system.…”
