Service Management Software OTRS 4 Beta Ushers in New Era for OTRS Group
Cupertino, California, United States (PRWEB UK) 9 September 2014 -- OTRS Group, the world’s leading provider of open source and cloud-based service management software solutions, today announces the start of the beta release phase of its new version of OTRS 4. The new release can be downloaded and tested for free.
With a new, one-digit versioning scheme, the beta marks a new era for OTRS solutions. The OTRS 4 Beta features an ultra-flat and clean design, a powerful Template Engine based on Template Toolkit, and a central Object Manager. Through an improved visual design, the new beta helps agents to work on tickets even faster. The Template Engine and the Object Manager were designed to improve operating process efficiency and make the software future-proof. Therefore OTRS 4 is resource-saving and faster than ever. A stable version is planned for November 30, 2014. The beta version can be downloaded for free on the company’s webpage here: http://www.otrs.com/try/
Christopher Kuhn, COO of the OTRS Group, sees OTRS 4 as an important step into the future: "Modern software solutions do not only have to be fast, but also resource-saving. To meet that requirement we restructured the core of our service management software OTRS to better prepare for the future and growing business usage, especially in larger companies.“
The change to a single figure version number is symbolic of the beginning of a new era of the vendors’ software solutions.
"With wide-ranging use cases of OTRS, for example in human resources, customer feedback or facility management“, says André Mindermann, CEO of OTRS Group, "OTRS is no longer only a help desk or IT service management system, but a flexible communication solution for businesses. This requires an offering of solution packages that combine special business features with professional services, which we are going to offer with the stable release and based on OTRS 4 in the beginning of 2015.“
