otrs ticket system

((OTRS)) Community Edition - administrator training

OTRS is - with more than 100.000 deployments world wide in 32 languages - the leading Help Desk system. The software is entirely covered by the Affero General Public License (v3), which means:

  • Unlimited use of the software in an unlimited number of deployments
  • Simple enhancement through free download of the source code
  • No license fees

OTRS intelligently supports customers, users, service staff and management alike with structured collection, process- and company-wide processing, documentation and reporting of incidents and service requests.

We will coach you through setup, backup and restore as well as the configuration of OTRS. The training course is directed at administrators in charge of system configuration, management of users and authorizations and customization according to corporate design. You will gain in-depth insight into the system's functional mechanisms and, for training purposes, will complete the entire setup and configuration cycle. The main focus will be the SysConfig file and the central configuration file Kernel/Config.pm in order to customize the system conveniently according to your and/or your customers requirements. Practical elements, e.g. the exmplary integration with email and directory services will be part of the training course as well as learning how to handle ticket ACL's (Active Control Lists) and the modelling of workflows by means of the system.

Subsequent to this training course, there will be an extended training, focusing on OTRS::ITSM.

The training course will be conducted by Martin Edenhofer, inventor of the OTRS system and founder of OTRS AG.
