Client Experience & Solutions (CXS) 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.
CXS 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 CSX staff are committed to broad university goals and needs that contribute to the Stanford mission.
CXS 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.
