An anonymous reader writes: Cupertino, CA – August 2, 2010 – OTRS (www.otrs.com), the world's leading provider of open source Help Desk and ITIL-compatible IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions, today launched the 3.0 beta of its help desk system, featuring a brand new Ajax-powered interface designed to dispatch help tickets 30 percent faster, under the most demanding usage scenarios.
“With the power of our help desk growing by leaps and bounds, we needed to come up with a creative new way to deliver that power to the user, especially in demanding, high usage situations,” said Manuel Hecht, Director of Research and Development. “The solution was to create a brand new user-centered design employing the latest Ajax, xHTML, CSS, and other technologies. In designing our new help desk, we brought the user’s experiences and workflows front and center to drive our programming, rather than the other way around. The result is up to 30 percent quicker ticket turnaround under demanding high-usage scenarios, on top of enhanced features and accessibility.”
New Features in Help Desk 3.0
The all-new user-centered design features an enhanced New Ticket dashboard, a dynamic Ticket Zoom view, enhanced search, an interactive Global Ticket overview, ticket archiving,and accessibility compliance. For download, please go to http://otrs.org/download/.
