OTRS Group Releases Mobile Help Desk Software OTRS 5 for Better Field Services
Cupertino, California, United States (PRWEB UK) 20 October 2015 -- OTRS Group, the world’s leading provider of open-source and cloud-based service management software solutions, is announcing today the release of its new version of the help desk software OTRS 5. The new release can be downloaded on the provider’s webpage for free.
With a new responsive design, OTRS 5 enables service desk agents and customer support agents to respond to customer requests more quickly, anywhere and anytime, by using their mobile devices. OTRS 5 works with any mobile operating system and does not require the installation or updating of an extra app. Companies that offer field services or emergency services can especially benefit from using OTRS 5.
Christopher Kuhn, COO of OTRS Group, points out the importance of a mobile help desk software like OTRS 5 for today’s companies: “Mobility is a major key factor that helps today’s companies to stand out in a very competitive market. By listening and working closely with our 150,000 worldwide customers, we have identified this need and addressed it with OTRS 5 and its fully responsive design.“
Furthermore, OTRS 5 comes with a more flexible notification backend to notify agents about their tickets via email and improved statistic handling with a new preview functionality. Additional enhancements, such as modernized input fields with advanced searching and filtering capabilities and ticket overviews displaying customer company data, have been developed by Mühlbauer, a software company in Bavaria, and IT-freelancer Renée Bäcker, in cooperation with the OTRS Group. A new Galician translation raises OTRS’ translations to 35 languages.
While OTRS 5 is mainly used for private purposes and testing, OTRS Group also offers a supported help desk software solution designed for professional business usage, the OTRS Business Solution™. The latest version, OTRS Business Solution™ 5, is now available, and offers an integrated SMS distribution, a report generator, and predesigned business processes for incidents, ordering and requests for leave.
