Collecting IT Customer Opinions and Perceptions about IT Service Delivery
→ Then Taking Action to Increase IT Customer Satisfaction and boost Company Performance

From the perspective of IT customers, the best IT customer service is no customer service. When IT customers need service, they want a fast, efficient and professional experience. If there is a problem, they want it fixed immediately, without the need for follow-up. However, they really want their technology to work so well that they have no need for IT customer service at all.

IT problems frustrate IT customers and impact their productivity, their ability to sell and serve their customers, and their ability to perform their jobs effectively.

Conducting IT customer satisfaction surveys and taking action based on the survey results enables IT management to be proactive rather than reactive to IT customers and the problems they are experiencing.

IT customer satisfaction surveys help to eliminate recurring and other problems, and enable IT to anticipate and address problems before they become significant. This reduces the number of IT service incidents which in turn, reduces the number of in-house and/or outsourced people required to provide IT customer service.

Other uses of IT Customer Surveys/IT User Surveys

Making better IT sourcing decisions - IT Customer Surveys/IT User Surveys are excellent tools for making informed IT sourcing decisions. Many organizations are experiencing significant problems with both in-house and outsourced IT functions. For companies that are considering bringing outsourced IT services back in-house, as well as for companies thinking of outsourcing IT services, conducting an IT customer satisfaction survey is a highly effective way to assess the performance of current IT functions to identify problems and IT user satisfaction levels, and what needs to be done to bring performance and satisfaction up to acceptable levels. This is an important step in deciding whether to fix the current situation or whether it may be better to change direction and move IT either in-house or to an IT outsourcing company.

Establishing and adjusting SLA's (service level agreements) - Some companies are intentionally lowering their IT costs by reducing IT service levels of their in-house and/or outsourced IT functions. In some cases SLA's are planned and in other cases IT staffing is just kept arbitrarily low due to budget or other reasons. Conducting an IT customer satisfaction survey/IT user satisfaction survey is a great way to measure the impact of SLA's and to make informed decisions about adjusting SLA's to increase IT performance and IT customer satisfaction levels.

Creating baseline IT measurements - The first IT customer survey your company conducts will provide baseline data that is useful for assessing current IT user satisfaction and IT performance levels as well as for providing baseline data for measuring progress as changes are made based on results from IT customer surveys.

IT customer satisfaction surveys/IT user satisfaction surveys provide a very fast payback

Whether your organization has 100 employees, 1,000 employees, 10,000 employees or many more than that, conducting an IT customer satisfaction survey/IT user satisfaction survey can provide an extremely fast payback. First, taking action based on IT customer surveys can significantly improve the performance and image of IT, taking pressure off of CIO's, CTO's and other IT managers. Beyond that, IT surveys identify ways to reduce or eliminate many costly problems that negatively impact IT customer performance, IT staff productivity and your company's customers.

IT customer satisfaction surveys typically cost a few thousand dollars. Taking action based on the findings of an IT customer satisfaction survey often identifies quantitative and qualitative benefits worth many times the cost of the IT survey.
