Organizations today exploit IT to achieve business value and competitive advantages; it is the disruptive effect of digital transformation. However, investing in IT without proper control and governance over enterprise IT (GEIT) can expose organizations to cyber-risks and IT project failures. This problem affects both multinationals and small organizations. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to implement IT-governance also due to the complexity of the standard IT-governance frameworks. In this study, five case studies were conducted with five manufacturing companies in Italy whose headquarters are located in the Lombardy region to investigate the potential benefits for IT practitioners of using the COBIT 2019 Design Toolkit, an Excel spreadsheet that facilitates the development of a governance system. The results are encouraging, the IT practitioners appreciated the COBIT 2019 Design Toolkit to map the IT resources and issues, prioritize the most important governance and management objectives, and align business and IT strategy. However, some criticalities emerged, for instance, the limited prescriptive power of the tool and the language, which is sometimes difficult to understand for IT practitioners. It should also be noted that current IT-governance implementation in Italian manufacturing SMEs appears to be very limited. Further, it should be highlighted that this study was using COBIT 2019 before ISACA issued “COBIT for Small and Medium Enterprises Using COBIT 2019” which could already have a positive impact on the level of comprehension. Keywords: COBIT 2019, IT-governance, IT-governance frameworks, multiple case study

“…IT strategic alignment, in turn, appears as the main predictor. Miyamoto and Kudo [16] conducted an empirical research on IT governance using research data of 345 SMEs residing in Akita prefecture, located in the northern part of Japan. They found that Strategic Alignment, Performance Measurement, Resource Management, Risk Management, Value Delivery are positive and significant associated to IT governance.…”

IT has become an essential part of the organization. IT governance specifies the decision rights and accountability framework to encourage desirable behaviour in using IT. Concepts of IT governance has expanded to improve IT-business alignment under today’s business environment and prospects. This paper contributes to empirically knowledge of IT governance practices in Japanese organizations based on survey data gathered from 101 corporations, including large, medium, and small companies. The findings of the ordinal regression analyses in this study indicate that IT governance is associated with Strategic Alignment, Performance Measurement and Value Delivery, while Risk Management and Resource Management have positive but no significance association with IT governance.

“…The three layers into which the framework is divided, respectively, indicate the key issue for the board to consider (internal level), the executive management responsibilities (middle layer) and the issue related to IT practitioners (external layer) [7]. As outlined in the literature and by the Information Technology Governance Institute (ITGI), the domains of IT governance are IT strategic alignment, IT value delivery, IT risk management, IT resource management, and IT performance monitoring [8][9][10]. IT delivery value is enabled by IT strategic alignment with the business.…”

“…Risk management is driven by embedding accountability in the enterprise; it needs to be supported by reliable measures to verify the results achieved (Figure 2). As outlined in the literature and by the Information Technology Governance Institute (ITGI), the domains of IT governance are IT strategic alignment, IT value delivery, IT risk management, IT resource management, and IT performance monitoring [8][9][10]. IT delivery value is enabled by IT strategic alignment with the business.…”

Organizations must quickly adapt their processes to understand the dynamic nature of modern business environments. As highlighted in the literature, centralized governance supports decision-making and performance measurement processes in technology companies. For this reason, a reliable decision-making system with an integrated data model that enables the rapid collection and transformation of data stored in heterogeneous and different sources is needed. Therefore, this paper proposes the design of a data model to implement data-driven governance through a literature review of adopted approaches. The lack of a standardized procedure and a disconnection between theoretical frameworks and practical application has emerged. This paper documented the suggested approach following these steps: (i) mapping of monitoring requirements to the data structure, (ii) documentation of ER diagram design, and (iii) reporting dashboards used for monitoring and reporting. The paper helped fill the gaps highlighted in the literature by supporting the design and development of a DWH data model coupled with a BI system. The application prototype shows benefits for top management, particularly those responsible for governance and operations, especially for risk monitoring, audit compliance, communication, knowledge sharing on strategic areas of the company, and identification and implementation of performance improvements and optimizations.
