The problem is, I was out when the training was given, so I can't say if I like it yet.
King Grover, do you have any resources I could use? Links or whatever wuold be fine.
I've used both HEAT and Remedy. Heat is much more user friendly. It lets you refrence old tickets and reopen them better. You really can't RE-open a ticket in Remedy, you just piggyback one ticket that refrences another.
I use the Latest heat running off the lattest Oracle.
We use Heat here - it's pretty good but I would like to go on their training course to really see what it can do. Has a nasty habit of freezing a couple of times a day...
Lots of folks 'just knock up their own' with access or whatever, many of them I like better than commercial stuff !
Here are we looking for s/w to just monitor progress or do you want some kind of expert system too?
This is maybe worth a couple of minutes 'skim' ?
note this quote
(there might be more, & if we include diy .. there is ! :D)Quote:
..The help-desk market is vast, with as many as 200 vendors selling products that manage calls, issue trouble tickets, and solve problems..
To be honest just something to keep track of calls, that will assign a call number. Too many calls getting 'forgotten' about....
Will check out the link :thumbs:
Get them DB skills brushed off then ;) (or nominate someone who has some) this is diy material for anyone moderate to well skilled, some forms & whatnot & you are away, complete documentation should be easy too then no legacy or bespoke s/w moans as you do it with whatever you've got db wise already - depends a bit on organsistion but not so hard, its just actioning follow up correctly ?Quote:

Yeah I'll pass onto someone who likes solving problems.... I don't mind designing and the initial writing but I hate the diagnosing when it all goes pear shaped. Never been one for the programming mind! :thumbs2:Quote:
