Abstract

The continuous evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) implies that the governance paradigm lies in the processes of integration and collaboration which seek to integrate business processes in a more efficient way, aiming to increase the flexibility of the organization and to have information systems and technologies that interact easily with the resources of the organization (systems, personnel, etc.). In this evolving environment and as a response to the concepts relating to IT governance, this paper defines and designs a method that facilitates the change in an organization towards the new paradigms of IT design and management, and deals mainly in their interaction with inter-organization networks. The application of the defined method on the organization of the information and communications service of a University has facilitated the integration of different tools (for example GTI4U model, Maturity Model, Enterprise Integration Methodology) in the IT governance process, thanks to the modelization of the business processes and the flows related with this.
