Abstract :

Background: this research has been done in the field of technology roadmapping. The secondary area of this research is the field of information technology.Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the key indicators of information technology in organization and then to formulate a generic method to create an information technology roadmap.Methods: The main methodology of this study was mixed-method exploration based on tool formulation. the final statistical sample consists of a panel of 30 experts in the related fields at Mobarakeh Steel Company. In the qualitative phase, the research started with interviews. then, In the quantitative phase, the Delphi method was used in the panel of experts and then the IPA was used.findings: In the qualitative phase, 98 primary indicators, either current or future, were extracted in 4 key components of IT field for virtual bank implementation. In the quantitative phase and after performing the Delphi Rounds, 50 information technology indicators, were finalized. After the importance-performance analysis, 9 gaps in 3components were identified. These gaps used in the formulation of the final IT roadmap.Conclusion: In order to implement technology projects in an organization, at first, the roadmap must be developed. since no specific methodology has been provided for the development of IT roadmap, so this research has introduced a unique, innovative, localized and operational methodology, (based on the main methods of foresight), to develop an IT roadmap, that can easily meet the needs of researchers and academicians in the field of IT roadmapping.

Context: The main context was route mapping and the method of compiling the route map. Sub-fields are also the field of information technology and the field of dedicated and organizational virtual banking. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to identify and evaluate the key components and indicators of information technology in organizations in line with the development of the information technology roadmap for the implementation of an organizational and dedicated virtual bank in the studied organization. Methods: The general method of this research was a mixed exploratory approach based on the preparation of tools and a final statistical sample in the form of an expert panel consisting of 30 experts in the fields related to the subject in Mobarakeh Steel Company. In the qualitative phase, the research started with semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. In the quantitative phase, the Delphi method was used in the panel of experts and then the importance-performance analysis (IPA). Findings: In the qualitative phase and based on the analysis of the literature review and also the content analysis of the interviews, a number of 98 primary indicators, both current indicators and future needs, were extracted in the 4 basic components of the information technology field for the implementation of the virtual bank. In the quantitative phase, the number of 50 information technology indicators was finalized. After the IPA analysis, 9 gaps in 3 components were discovered and these gaps were used in compiling the final model. Conclusion: In line with the implementation of technology projects in the organization, the relevant roadmap document should be prepared first, and since no specific model has been provided for the development of information technology roadmaps, therefore, this research is a methodology for the development of innovative roadmaps. It has been localized and has introduced an operation that can be used in the field of information technology mapping.
