Why organizations search for a successor to older OTRS 6-related support structures

Older ticket system environments are often deeply embedded in daily support work. At the same time, requirements change: privacy, operation, security, workflows, automation, usability, and extensibility need to match current organizational needs.

Modernize existing processes

Grown support workflows do not have to be abandoned. OFORK helps organizations rebuild ticket handling, responsibilities, customer information, and knowledge structures in a clear and maintainable way.

Control data and operation

OFORK can be deployed on your own infrastructure. This is important for organizations that want to control data storage, access, maintenance, security policies, and technical operating conditions.

Keep extensibility available

Support systems often need to reflect specific workflows. OFORK can be extended through add-ons, individual customization, professional services, and optional AI functions.
