Given Information Technology (IT)’s pervasiveness and stakeholders’ desire for value creation, it is imperative for companies to align IT-related goals with enterprise goals. COBIT5 proves to be a valuable framework for companies to generate value from IT by helping them to balance benefits’ realization, resource utilization, and risk optimization. The primary goal of the present research is to provide organizations with valuable insights of COBIT5 in order to facilitate its understanding, adoption, and customization to their enterprise goals. Relationships between processes are studied and tested for the identification of the key factors influencing their performance levels.
