[VoiceOps] OT: What do you recommend for help desk software

[Ryan Delgrosso]

We use an array of things for different purposes.

Our customer facing reps use Platypus (billing / ticketing). Its not 
great but it does work and is fairly malleable once you can get your 
head around it.

Internally we use RT for managing tickets between departments.

Our development staff uses Eventum for managing defects since tracking 
software bugs is very different from normal tickets. We have also toyed 
around with Jira but found it a little daunting for non-developers to 
submit defects in.
