criteria along with that of 20 main-criteria, which are evaluated by the group of experts, indicated in
Table 6, constitutes the final weights of the main- criteria and is listed in Table 7.
Information technology criteria in the IT unit of each organization, (Alternatives= A1, A2), have been
evaluated by four experts of that organization (Pi; i=1, 2, 3, 4) and the evaluations are listed in Table
8. Also, the linguistic terms with the contribution of Table 2 are converted into the fuzzy values and by
means of agrouping technique are aggregated then in next step by using equation (1) they are
transformed into the 20 values for the main- criteria. The result is shown in table 9. Moreover,
considering the defined models the level of organization’s IT have been ranked.
