DEOFORK – on-premise ticket system for companies, public institutions, and IT support
OFORK is a self-hosted and on-premise ticket system for organizations that want to run their support platform on infrastructure they control. Data, access, configurations, integrations, and support processes remain under your own operational responsibility.
An on-premise ticketing system is especially relevant when internal IT policies, data protection, compliance, custom integrations, or long-term independence play an important role. OFORK combines controlled deployment with professional ticket handling for IT support, help desk, and customer service teams.
On-premise benefits
- Run OFORK on your own infrastructure
- Keep control over data and access
- Adapt operation to internal IT policies
- Suitable for sensitive support processes
- Extend through add-ons and services
Why operate a ticket system on-premise?
Ticket systems often contain sensitive information: customer data, internal incidents, technical details, contract information, documents, questions, replies, and complete communication histories. For many organizations, it is important to decide where this data is stored and who has technical access to it.
Data stays in your environment
With on-premise deployment, OFORK runs on infrastructure you control. Organizations retain control over storage location, access, backup, monitoring, and technical operating conditions.
Operation follows internal policies
IT teams can align operation, configuration, updates, security rules, and integrations with internal standards and existing infrastructure.
Integration into existing workflows
OFORK can be integrated into existing support structures and supports tickets, queues, roles, customer information, automations, and extensions for real service workflows.
For organizations with high requirements for privacy and control
Many companies, public institutions, and government-related organizations do not want to move all support data into an external cloud platform. Reasons may include privacy, internal security requirements, regulatory expectations, or technical integration constraints.
OFORK supports this approach because the system can be deployed on your own servers while still providing the essential functions of a professional ticket system for IT support, help desk, and customer service.
Typical requirements for on-premise systems
- Controlled operation on own infrastructure
- Traceable roles and permissions
- Custom backup and security concepts
- Integration with existing IT processes
- Transparent ticket history
- Flexible extensibility and customization
- Professional support for productive environments
OFORK as an on-premise ticket system in daily operation
OFORK provides the functions support teams need in daily operations: capture requests, prioritize them, assign them to responsible teams, document communication, evaluate support work, and extend the system when needed.
Ticket handling
Requests are managed centrally as tickets and processed with status, priority, queue, history, and communication.
Teams and roles
Roles, permissions, and responsibilities help map internal structures and support workflows clearly.
Knowledge and FAQ
Recurring questions and solutions can be documented and made available to support teams.
Add-ons and extensions

When is an on-premise ticket system the right choice?
Not every organization wants or is able to use a purely cloud-based solution. An on-premise ticket system is especially useful when control, customization, integration, and long-term independence are more important than fully outsourced operation.
