Client Services focuses UIT’s approach to providing the highest quality user-facing services and associated enabling functions. It is the front face of UIT services, helping Stanford University and Stanford Medicine clients acquire and use technology successfully.
Our deep understanding of Stanford’s academic, research, healthcare, and business technology needs, combines with our equally deep understanding of how technology integrates with Stanford’s centralized and decentralized technology resources. We recognize that different clients have different needs and expectations for selecting, delivering, and using technology, and therefore require different types of support.
Client Services will always strive to provide the “right touch” that meets the broadest client needs. We take a creative approach to rethinking our business models to meet our client’s needs, and Client Services staff are committed to broad university goals and needs that contribute to the Stanford mission.
Client Services collaborates with departments and organizations to develop operating level objectives. Establishing such objectives adds clarity and ensures matching expectations while creating partnerships in which everyone is working toward continual service improvement. This professional services approach builds long-lasting relationships.
End User Experience
End User Experience (EUX) is a new group that brings together Computer Resource Consulting (CRC), Endpoint Engineering and Development (EED) (formerly DSG, ISO Endpoint, CRC Endpoint Dev), and Mobile Device Services (MDS), which includes both mobile and paging services for the university and Stanford Medicine.
End User Experience focuses on creating, supporting, and improving our clients' end-to-end experience with their devices and applications at Stanford. EUX aligns user support with device security, device management, desktop and mobile app development, and mobile device services.
With CRC's 21-year history of service, support, and continuous improvement at its core, EUX is positioned to drive the end-to-end experience of using devices here at Stanford. Additionally, the team will unify the UIT desktop application portfolio, expand mobile app development, and actively promote collaboration tools. EUX is positioned to bring common user experience to the applications and tools our clients use every day and align that user experience with UIT's other user-facing services.
