# Framework for Developing an Information Technology
## 6 Conclusions  
The design of the IT maturity framework and the methodology of application to case studies are based on the revision of smart city models and the revision of IT maturity frameworks in the literature. The smart city model review considered service areas or areas, structural components, mediation variables, and actors. The IT maturity framework review considered IT dimensions, measurement, and IT indicators and application methodologies. A framework was designed to develop an information technology maturity (IT) model, which allows the determination of the level of technological development in the following four IT dimensions: government and IT management, IT services, data management, technological infrastructure. The IT maturity model was applied to the analysis of smart service initiatives in the city's 2020-2023 development plan case study (Cerete, Cordoba, Colombia), demonstrated its applicability to measure quantitative and qualitative the level of IT maturity for each \begin{table}

The proposed model is practical and contextualized and can be implemented in any city that wants to transform into a smart city or for those that already are but want to improve their level of IT maturity. The proposed IT maturity model is flexible and recommended to be adjusted with different levels of granularity, not only by intelligent services, by service areas, by smart city areas, but you can also determine the overall level of IT maturity for cities case study. The proposed IT maturity model is also scalable and is recommended to fit the particularities of each smart city to define more or less IT dimensions, indicators, service areas, and city scopes. The maturity indices found for each service area allow you to use the model to optimize investments in smart services. We recommend that you use linear programming-based models that aim to maximize the maturity rate of IT dimensions by intelligent service area, while meeting the budget constraints targeted in the development plan for these service areas. Finally, the application of the IT maturity model to case studies has received positive feedback from the different leaders of the Cerete Mayoral Government.
