  The purpose of this study was the evaluation of e-learning in Iran higher education by using benchmarking approach. The population was all of students in four universities which presented e-learning. By multistage clustered sampling method, 702 students were selected. The research instrument was a researcher made questionnaire included e-learning (organization and management affair, technology, educational aspects, interface design, support services, evaluation and ethical and legal considerations). After calculating validity and reliability, the questionnaires were distributed among sample students and data was analyzed by ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc. Results showed: the university D with higher mean in all of seven dimensions had the best position among three other universities. Furthermore, the university B in five dimensions and the university C in two dimensions was the best. While benchmarking can be tested processes and models from other universities and implementing techniques and approaches used them more. Manuscript profile

  Nowadays one of the biggest problems of IT organizations in less developed countries is paying too much attention to infrastructure and technology of organizations. This is due to the point that many managers in organizations believe that existence of IT infrastructure and technology by itself is a sign of maturity of an organization. Although technical facilities and infrastructure such as networks, hardware, software etc., is essential for providing appropriate services and optimal performance, but these features cannot provide a competitive advantage and increase the maturity of the organization. The missing link in these organizations, which have been less considered, is how to use these features to achieve organizational goals. In different areas, there are several standards and optimal methods for defining and optimizing processes. Some of the most complex models which should be considered in different units of information technology are, models and frameworks related to IT governance. IT governance focuses on implementation and management of quality of IT services so as to meet business needs. IT governance is done by service providers through an appropriate combination of people, process and information technology. The purpose of this paper is to examine different models and frameworks of IT governance models, in order to propose a framework for assessing IT services Manuscript profile

  Enterprise Data Warehouse initiative is a high investment project. The adoption of Data Warehouse will be significantly different depending upon the level of readiness of an organization. Before implementation of Data Warehouse system in a firm, it is necessary to evaluate the level of the readiness of firm. A successful Data Warehouse assessment model requires a deep understanding of opportunities, challenges and influential factors that a typical firm’s Data Warehouse (DW) may include. Actually, data warehouse system is one of Knowledge Management and Decision Support System tools. By this system, the distributed data throughout organizations could be collected, extracted and integrated and with knowledge discovery and data mining the latent data can be extracted and analyzed In this paper, after reviewing the relevant literature and a comparative analysis of assessment models for organizational readiness for implementation of Data warehouse system, a conceptual framework was designed and its validity was approved by test of hypothesis. Then, by using analytical hierarchical process technique and its expert choice software, criteria and sub-criteria of influential factors were assessed and weighted. The validity and effectiveness of the model including, six criteria and 23 sub-criteria with main influential factors named Information needs, Data structure , Organizational processes , Organizational factors ,Technical structure and Project management were approved by a field study and the relevant statistical analysis.

  In this study Data envelopment analysis is used for the assessment of enterprise resources planning systems of 18 manufacturing companies, to determine whether the defined goals for ERP systems have been able to affect the performance after the implementation of the system. Considering the identification of effective factors in implementing ERP systems and using the previous researches, the performance evaluation criteria of this system were identified. Then, using experts’ views the most important input indicators were ranked by fuzzy DEMATEL and output indicators by ANP. In this ranking, time spent on implementation, the implementation infrastructure, training and user support were identified as top input indicators, and three indicators of productivity increase, proper resource management and user satisfaction were selected as top output indicators. Using selected indicators, the performance of ERP systems of selected companies was evaluated. The results of this research will be useful in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of companies compared to top ones and making their ERP system even better. Manuscript profile

  The field of electronic content is one of the most influential pillars of digital transformation. For proper planning to develop or modify the process of social, economic and cultural influences in the digital transformation trend, it is necessary to provide a proper assessment of the position of electronic content and its status. Considering the various components of electronic content and also the areas affected by it, determining the status of native electronic content in the country requires having a suitable model to cover all dimensions and thus its evaluation. The purpose of this paper is to present an appropriate and local model to assess the electronic content in the country in terms of setting up programs and policies in this area, the effectiveness of the indices offered in the proposed model for different actors and stakeholders could be traceable based on the value chain. In this paper, with regard to the importance of explaining the basic concepts of electronic content, as well as review of upstream documents and existing policies, the focus group research method has been used to determine the model elements and indices of different parts of value chain. To evaluate the proposed model, we use field analytical methods and questionnaire patterns. The proposed model and its implementation procedure allow legislators and policy makers in the field of native electronic content to assess the status of electronic content in the country and improve it based on the different roles of actors and each of .the content areas Manuscript profile

  Along with the development of information and communication technology in all areas, information technology in the management and administration of countries has also developed and concepts such as e-government and e-governance have emerged. Although e-government emphasizes providing services to stakeholders by internet, e-governance emphasizes the need to change the way the government communicates democratically with its citizens. Identifying the components of e-government evaluation In addition to identifying the important aspects for the development of e-government in the executive apparatus, it is a tool to know the status of progress of the executive apparatus and identify strengths and areas for improvement in the development of e-government. The main purpose of this study is to study the criteria and identify the components of evaluating the progress of government executive bodies in the development of e-government under the title of e-government evaluation framework. Accordingly, the initial criteria have been identified based on a literature study. Then, with the help of expert opinions, the criteria are reviewed and defined. With the help of a questionnaire, the importance of each criterion in the development of e-government in the country's executive apparatus has been questioned through random sampling. After measuring the importance of the criteria from the perspective of experts, effective criteria have been categorized using exploratory factor analysis. The results of factor analysis show 27 criteria identified in six components; e-governance quality, e-governance leadership and motivation, productivity and facilitation, support, e-services management, and e-legislation are summarized. Another output of this study is the coefficient of the importance of each of the criteria in measuring the identified factor. Manuscript profile
