Do you find IT professionals to be condescending, uncaring, and mostly speak in jargon? That is certainly the stereotype. Since the goal of Skyriver IT is to be more customer-centric and eliminate the frustration from IT, I thought it was important to understand why this stereotype persists. After researching the issue in significant detail, here is what I found:
When you take smart people who are more interested in computers than people, then train them exclusively on new technology, you get professionals who are more comfortable with technology than people. The bottom line is that most IT professionals have never been trained on providing good customer service. Then, they are given the job of explaining complex technical issues to people who have little or no technical background. It is no surprise that there is so much frustration around IT.
How can we improve the customer service from IT? IT professionals can be trained and measured on customer service. That is what we do at Skyriver IT. We have ongoing customer service training for our IT professionals and they are measured each quarter on the satisfaction of their clients. Other businesses should be doing the same to measure in-house or outsourced IT services.
With a concerted effort, we can change the IT stereotype from computer-focused to customer-focused.
