OTRS Launches 3.0 Release with All-New GUI

New AJAX-powered open source Help Desk delivers 30 percent quicker ticket turnaround

OTRS (www.otrs.com), the world's leading provider of open source Help Desk and ITIL-compatible IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions, today launched OTRS Help Desk 3.0, featuring a brand new Ajax-powered interface designed to dispatch help tickets 30 percent faster, under the most demanding usage scenarios.

"OTRS exceeded my expectations and helped to redeem my faith in open source software," stated Paul Hill, System Administrator of the Sitka, Alaska school district. "As a system administrator, you come across open source solutions that are far from refined and so problematic that the amount of work they save aren't worth the time and effort to get them up and running. OTRS was a pleasant change."

"It is our pleasure to release the most powerful and easy to use help desk solution to date, designed for the most demanding high-usage environments," said André Mindermann, co-founder and CEO of OTRS. "OTRS 3.0 brings the user's experiences and workflows front and center with an all new user-centered design, employing the latest Ajax, xHTML, CSS, and other technologies. Extensive beta tests confirmed that our enhanced features and accessibility result in up to 30 percent quicker ticket turnaround."

New Features in Help Desk 3.0

The all-new web front end features customer-configured ticket overviews, a dynamic Ticket Zoom view, enhanced full text search, a separate ticket archive for quick retrieval, and accessibility compliance. Other new features include an optimize web installer, easy intranet integration, and quick identification of new and unread articles.

Free webinar and special 65 percent off upgrade offer
