Might take a look at System Center Service Manager (SCSM) from Microsoft. Depending on your licensing arrangement with MS you may already own the CALs.
Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c - 312.731.3132 From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 11:39 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Helpdesk Software? The software that our Help Desk use is reaching EOL and the vendor has quoted crazy money to upgrade to the latest and greatest, so I've been asked to take a look at what's about, and there's a lot about hence I'd appreciate any personal recommendations. Our list of requirements is pretty simple, a web interface would be nice, the ability to automatically log requests from email would be nice as would being able to update a ticket and notify the requester by email. Also some sort of workflow i.e. if a ticket is opened for "New Software Order" you can't close the ticket until you check off the "Action 1" and "Action 2" tasks. Also being able to pull info from SQL would be good i.e. it would let you pick "Asset ID" from an existing database field. We'd also like it to be able to hook into AD/LDAP to help you pick the user who's creating the ticket, though also being able to enter a random name is a requirement (could be an onsite customer). Not really concerned whether it's commercial or open source, something that runs on Windows would be preferable, we already have a SQL server.
