“…In general, a variety of frameworks for managing IT have been proposed in recent years, such as the “Information Technology Infrastructure Library,” the “Control Objectives for Information and related Technology,” the “Capability Maturity Model Integration” or the “IT Balanced Scorecard” amongst others (Carcary, 2011; Curley, 2008). However, as these do not primarily focus on the value derived from IT investments or IT implementations for the diverse operating areas of a company, the “IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF)” was proposed (Carcary, 2011; Curley, 2008; Curley et al , 2016). The origins of the IT-CMF go back to a maturity framework developed by Intel Corporation, which was taken up, refined and further developed by the Innovation Value Institute at the National University of Ireland Maynooth (Carcary, 2011; Curley et al , 2016).…”
