    Abstract: Organization’s concerns as controlling costs, improving quality, increasing effectiveness and managing risk have become increasingly important. Business-IT alignment (B-ITa) is a known solution for such concerns. There is a considerable literature on measuring and improving B-ITa in single organizations but the problem of B-ITa in Collaborative Networked Organizations (CNOs) has hardly been studied. Maturity Models (MM) are newly emerging measurement strategies for businesses/organizations that can help to measure the maturity of the relationship. To assess the maturity of CNOs there exist a number of MMs in this study, researchers consider the most recently developed MM, the IT-Enabled Collaborative Networked Organizations Maturity Model that developed by Santana Tapia.
