> Assessment > 2004 IT Survey

The 2004 Information Technology Needs Assessment Survey was completed in November 2004 to measure the level of satisfaction faculty and staff have for the service and support provided by the Information Technology department.  The responses for this survey were based on the Likert scale that was used to measure attitudes, preferences, and subjective reactions.  The results of this survey has been compared to the 2003 survey to show what improvements have been made or areas for improvement.  In looking at the comparison results, the Information Technology department has had significant improvement over the responses from 2003.  The overall percentages show a 137% increase in the number of respondents who were "very satisfied" while the number of "satisfied" only decreased by 11%.  The "very dissatisfied" decreased by 12%, "dissatisfied" decreased by48% and "neutrals" decreased by27%.  It is interesting to note that the only area on the survey that fell below the 2003 findings is in the number of administrative/supervisory respondents.  Both the number of respondents (13) and the percentage of total respondents (22.4%) were lower than they were in 2003.  This may be attributed to the survey being issued twice due to technical difficulties.

The numbers in the comparisons have been highlighted for easy identification of areas that have been improved (highlighted in green) and those areas that need improvement (highlighted in red).  A bar graph has also been provided for clarity in viewing the results.  When responses to the levels of satisfaction decreased in the "satisfied" category but increased in the "very satisfied" category, no indication of improvement was identified.  In addition, even though the number of "very dissatisfied" and "dissatisfied" decreased, these areas still need to be considered as areas for improvement.
