Help Desk & Change Management Application

Skunks, I have a client who is looking for an application (preferably Web-based) which can be able to support *Help Desk *and* Change Management.* Hit me up with the quotes. *Perpetual Licensing* will be given preference. Thanks and regards, Peter Mugoh

You know what I think? Change Management is quite an ambiguous term, no? Because it depends on the changes you want to control and the control process. It might be hardware replacement approval, software changes, etc Anyway, because change management (whatever it is) requires APPROVAL, I think you can easily install a FOSS called Request Tracker - https://docs.bestpractical.com/rt and configure an Approvals queue to handle change management. The other queues can handle HelpDesk. I do think that commercial versions appeal to you better, no? :-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft."

You could also checkout OTRS: https://community.otrs.com I haven't explored change management module that it has, but as a Helpdesk it's a great tool. On Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 12:31 PM Michael Bullut via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
