New Stable Version of Service Desk Software OTRS 4 Brings Service Desks Up to Speed While Saving Resources
Cupertino, California, United States (PRWEB UK) 25 November 2014 -- OTRS Group, the world’s leading provider of open source and cloud-based service management software solutions, today announces the stable release of the service desk software OTRS 4 is available for free on the provider’s website.
OTRS 4 features a new ultra-flat and clean design that helps service desk agents to work even faster on their customer requests. A revised software core allowed OTRS Group to build a new template engine based on Template Toolkit, and a new Object Manager that consumes less resources and allows up to 30 percent more concurrent users. Additionally, OTRS 4 offers more possibilities for 3rd party software integration as it now supports the HTTPS REST network protocol, and an improved overview of ticket attachments, running process tickets as well as favoured services.

OTRS 4 marks a new milestone in the software’s history, as it is now future-proof and more aligned with the needs of middle-sized companies and enterprises.
"Our projects with customers often show that OTRS is often implemented and used by the IT department first," said Christopher Kuhn, COO of OTRS Group. "It then spreads into other departments that recognize how flexible and cost-effective it is, and how it can be adapted to their needs and improve their communication processes."
OTRS Group is also planning to release a paid business solution in January 2015.
"With OTRS 4 as the basis, we will be rolling out the OTRS Business Solution™ in mid-january 2015,“ said André Mindermann, CEO of OTRS Group. It‘s a flexible solution enriched with powerful cloud services such as a customer chat and a Facebook-inspired Ticket Timeline View, as well as free selectable features and support and consulting services. These features will help to adapt OTRS to the individual needs of every company and will improve the communication processes of a company as a whole."
OTRS Business Solution™ will be available on January 19, 2015. More information about the new solution can be found here: https://www.otrs.com/otrs-business-solution-improving-customer-service/
