In an article published September 26, 2016, University IT announced a new agreement between University IT, the School of Humanities & Sciences, and SLAC with Gartner Research that will offer all faculty, staff, and students free access to authoritative Gartner Research through a streamlined Stanford portal.

"Here are some ways Gartner IT Research can benefit the Stanford community:

• Empower faculty with current trends in information technology, allowing them to bring real world, complex issues into the classroom.
• Provide staff members information on how to improve infrastructure, validate technology decisions, analyze trends in the industry, and understand best practices.
• Equip students with insight on the current trends in technology, information technology management, business issues, organizations, and strategy, as well as a global perspective on the IT industry. Gartner also produces lists of new, emerging vendors that students may want to work for after graduation."
