ITsat – where ‘sat’ stands for satisfaction – is a Giarte measuring tool designed to improve the quality of IT services and manage costs. ITsat measures end users’ overall experience with IT services: in terms of both effectiveness (doing the right things) and efficiency (doing things the right way).
Satisfaction in IT
The unique features of ITsat
ITsat has a number of unique features aimed at equipping organisations with the information and guidelines needed to optimise their IT services. This distinguishes ITsat from the more classic method of customer satisfaction measurement which only shows whether or not clients are satisfied. What are these unique features of ITsat?
How ITsat helps improve service
Constant insight into the experiences of end users provides the organisation with a springboard for initiating, monitoring and adjusting improvements. ITsat contributes to improved service in a variety of ways.
What ITsat offers
The ITsat service consists of two components:
(1) the process of requesting feedback from end users, and
(2) the reports that interpret this feedback in the most practical way possible.
