Abstract :
Information technology is an important part of business development and increasing competitive power, and IT governance is an important part of business governance. There are different tools for evaluating the IT governance. ”COBIT” is one of these most operational integral tools. The framework of COBIT shows the information of doing necessaries to gain dominance of Information Technology. The purpose of this study is to apply an uncertain Grey hierarchy approach to evaluate the governance of information technology. Also, a hybrid model of the COBIT framework and TOGAF’s organizational architecture framework are presented. This study in terms of orientation is applicable and its method is descriptive-survey. The questionnaire used to determine the importance of the dimensions of IT governance processes and the evaluation of IT processes at the Faculty of Electronic Education of Shiraz University as a research organization. The first research community consists of experts groups in the area of information technology governance that are selected using snowball techniques. The second community consists of 20 faculty directors based on the census. The results of this research show how to apply Grey theory in selected organization by applying “COBIT” framework.
