Abstract

It is necessary for each organization to move towards process-focused that it is supported and presided by information technology (IT). IT is considered as a part of processes field. In the information technology era, especially with the advent of network-based economy, organizations plans must be performed based on an architectural design deserving Information Society. Enterprise Architecture provides a framework to design organization based on Information Technology. Val IT framework is not related to enterprise architecture frameworks, but rather to IT governance. IT governance is indeed a paradigm in which it is attempted to make all activities and enterprise mechanisms for the planning, organizing, implementation and control of IT aligned and consistent. This study first discusses the introduction of this framework; then, a comparison between this framework and COBIT as well as between enterprise architecture and Val IT will be done.

Keywords

Abstract

This study is aimed to present theory model of users' satisfaction in Iran Saderat Bank in terms of using information security. This descriptive research is correlation-survey. A questionnaire was prepared and standardized by the author as a measurement tool. It includes two main factors involving three and two subcomponents, respectively. The first one is information system function including information quality, system quality and supportive service quality. The second is work function and work relationship. The proposed questionnaire has some items and it is scored by Liker scale (very poor (1), poor (2), average (3), strong (4), very strong (5)). Kolmogrov-Smirnov test (K-S test) results showed that data is normal. Considering KMO>0.6 as well as Bartellet significance level is less than 0.05, so the questionnaire is constructed by validity and cronbach alpha values indicating its good reliability. Fridman test results showed that there is a significant difference between factors influencing on users' satisfaction in Iran Saderat Bank in terms of using information security that they include system quality, service quality, information quality, work function, and work relationship (M= 4.51, 4.12, 3.61, 3.52, 2.72, respectively). Also, confirmatory factor test results showed that research model has goodness of fit and the relationship between variables is significant.

Abstract

The topic of ''the cloud'' has attracted significant attention throughout the past few years. It allows resource sharing that includes software, platform and infrastructure by means of virtualization. Cloud Adoption in Oil&Gas companies have approached cloud with caution, but they are increasingly deploying cloud services. Energy companies have carefully weighed whether they should opt for a public cloud versus a private one, and which applications are fit for deployment via the cloud. For the most part, the industry has opted to use cloud for generic purposes. Generic business functions like payroll process and procurement are being run through the cloud, along with customer relationship management, likely through software-as-a-service offerings that have become wellknown. Security is as much of an issue in the cloud as it is anywhere else. Different people share different point of view on cloud computing. Some believe it is unsafe to use cloud. Cloud vendors go out of their way to ensure security. This paper aims to understand the effects of security and privacy concerns on educational use of cloud services. This proposed a research model based on Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Following the TPB, the research developed a model, which posits that staff attitudes predicted by security and privacy perceptions and behavioral intentions are predicted by attitudes towards using cloud services. The Model was assess the based on the data collected by means of survey questionnaires. Results supported the proposed model, validating the predictive power of the TPB.
