2005 Client Satisfaction Survey
About the Survey
In April, 2005, IS&T asked a sample population of faculty members, students, and administrative staff to complete a satisfaction survey. This was the fourth in a series of IS&T customer surveys that began in 2000 and have been conducted every 18 months since. The purpose of the survey was to:
- Find out how customers rate IS&T services and support;
- Ascertain what contributes to customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction;
- Give customers an opportunity to influence IS&T priorities.
The response rate from those we invited to complete the survey met our expectations with 646 respondents, about 43% of those invited. To ensure objectivity and confidentiality, we contracted with an external firm to conduct the survey. MOR Associates, who recently completed similar surveys for Stanford and NYU, administered this survey and assessed the results.
In past years, IS&T has used the survey input to help prioritize improvements that address some of concerns our customers expressed. We expect to continue this process in 2005.
We are grateful to the respondents for their continued support of this key initiative. Please direct your comments or questions to measures@mit.edu. Our goal is to continue to strive to provide the best services possible, commensurate with the excellence that MIT represents.
