New webinar from OTRS demonstrates the benefits of workflows add-on feature for service desk management
Cupertino, CA, United States (PRWEB UK) 2 July 2014 -- OTRS Group, the world’s leading provider of cloud-based solutions for service desk management, has produced a webinar to guide customers through the ticket workflow add-on module. The 20-minute webinar explains how the workflows add-on can help companies manage tasks effectively, and includes a step-by-step guide to setting up a workflow ticket and managing a task to completion.
The ticket workflow feature add-on from OTRS comes at a time when companies are increasingly turning to automating workflows in marketing. The workflow add-on also illustrates OTRS’ dedication to continued product development, as well as their ability to offer customers support as they deal with increasingly complicated processes to manage information.
The ticket workflow add-on allows users to easily define business workflow templates for common tasks. The workflow ‘task’ ticket can be dependent on any other task(s) in that workflow, which gives users a high level of control over the order in which tasks are completed. Each task ticket within a workflow can be predefined using the following fields:
• Queue
• Subject
• Body
• Owner
• Priority
• Attachments
Each user has access to a dashboard widget to keep track of tasks and progress. This means cross-functional teams can work seamlessly together to complete tasks efficiently.
Approximately 20% of OTRS customers are now using the tickets workflow add-on feature. US companies like MobileMini, Excelitas, HP, the Nebraska Medical Centre, as well as the UK based London Internet Exchange are using it to successfully manage tasks and benefit from a more holistic approach to business.
Christopher Kuhn, COO at OTRS explains, “Our goal at OTRS is to optimise services and reduce costs for our customers, and the ticket workflow add-on offers an even greater level of control and efficiency to companies who need to manage a wide range of tasks across teams. The workflow module has proved incredibly popular with many of our clients, and we are proud that it has become integral to how they work.”
