Abstract

Today, Organizations require a suitable and effective governance maturity model of their Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This is required to assess current state and needs of their governance and then to provide a suitable framework for their governance. So far, the different SOA governance maturity models have been proposed to assess governance of SOA; however, considering the movement of organizations to process-oriented method in recent years, the governance maturity model based on SOA is needed to assess the maturity of the organization in terms of their governance processes. In this paper, we used the COBIT process maturity model to propose a new model for the SOA governance maturity. The new model can evaluate an organization's process maturity level. COBIT is one of the information technology governance models. Finally to evaluate the proposed model, we contrast our results against the results obtained from reviews of IT experts.
