Survey : Information Technology Governance in Colombian Enterprises

Nowadays, it is essential to understand the need to visualize the Information Technology (IT) area in companies as essential support in the performance of their activities, with the great challenge of managing it properly, focusing their investments, and generating added value to the organizations. To achieve this, it is necessary to have an Enterprise IT Governance (GEIT), understood as the set of procedures, structures, and behaviors towards the achievement of its objectives through IT that allows analyzing, evaluating, directing and supervising information technologies in the organization. In Colombia, the challenges associated with the adoption and appropriation of IT have been evidenced, where 32.2% of companies do not have access to the connectivity (51.5% are SMEs and MSMEs); only 33.8% have internet presence, and 14.7% use e-commerce (Ministerio de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación., 2017). In general, the GEIT is almost nonexistent or has been poorly structured, given the little importance given to it in the business sector added to the gaps and inequity in access to information technologies. A survey is conducted between 2019 and 2021 to 200 professionals. The study is based on GEITSurvey to identify and analyze IT project failures, trends in emerging technologies, and good practices of GEIT in companies of different sizes and sectors. For the data analysis, a descriptive approach using business intelligence is assumed. The stages of the study are Data collection, data preprocessing: cleaning, normalization, and categorization of data, and selecting the variables to be analyzed. Finally, dashboards are designed to visualize and display the results.
