Corporation, www.scriptlogic.com,
a leading provider of systems lifecycle management
solutions for Microsoft® Windows®-based networks,
today announced the
availability of ScriptLogic BridgeTrak® 8.0, a trouble
ticket and help
desk application ideal for internal IT administrators
and external
support professionals. BridgeTrak is available as a standalone
product or
as part of ScriptLogic's
Incident Management Solution, a bundled solution that
provides IT
administrators with a comprehensive strategy for incident
prevention,
management and response. BridgeTrak 8.0 is the first major update since BridgeTrak was added to the ScriptLogic product line through acquisition in November 2007. The solution equips IT personnel with a powerful, easy-to-use application to manage increased support activity. BridgeTrak enables help desk staff to effectively manage issues from open to close and provides a greater ROI for company profitability. "Responding to IT help desk issues in a timely and consistent manner is essential for maintaining end-user productivity," said Nick Cavalancia, vice president of Windows Management at ScriptLogic. "The introduction of ScriptLogic BridgeTrak brought our customers an efficient way to manage their IT help desk issues. Version 8.0 enhances this process with many usability and productivity features, more flexible licensing and the first steps toward integration with our desktop management solution, Desktop Authority." BridgeTrak 8.0 offers many other productivity enhancements for help desk technicians and managers, including the features below. Complete BridgeTrak product information can be found at http://www.scriptlogic.com/products/bridgetrak/:
-- Customization of Issue, Company, Customer and Asset Windows -- In
BridgeTrak 8.0, customization capabilities have been greatly expanded. In
response to frequent customer demand, the administrator can drag and drop
selected fields anywhere in these windows, including any custom field on
the main portion of the issue management window, giving help desk managers
the ability to create a highly productive working environment with rapid
access to the most important data.
-- New Graphical Dashboard View -- A new dashboard view feature provides
a highly customizable graphical view of the data that is important to each
user and an at-a-glance indication of the status of help desk issues. Using
private and public queries, users are able to define dashboard widgets
according to graph type, data axis and date selection.
-- BridgeMail Module -- This optional module acts as a broker between
email and the BridgeTrak help desk issue management system. Issues received
via e-mail are easily turned into support tickets in BridgeTrak and
response e-mail, including auto-response e-mails, which can also be sent
through this e-mail module. BridgeMail also offers a Microsoft Outlook®
plug-in. E-mails can easily be turned into issues by clicking an icon that
resides on the Outlook toolbar.BridgeTrak 8.0 also marks the first step towards extensive integration with Desktop Authority, ScriptLogic's flagship desktop management solution. When BridgeTrak is used with Desktop Authority, the product gives help desk administrators the ability to assist users with desktop issues by providing direct remote assistance on their desktops. Desktop Authority's remote management functionality provides exceptional remote assistance capabilities by allowing the administrator to diagnose and fix issues without disrupting the user's workspace, as well as extensive remote control capabilities, should the user require on-screen help. Additionally, BridgeTrak 8.0 offers a new plug-in for Outlook, which allows users to create help desk issues directly from e-mails in Outlook.
