With individually tailored workshops, we guide you step by step through the project to ensure the most efficient use of OTOBO.

Initial requirements analysis

We ensure transparency and a shared vision. Based on your business and technical requirements, the goals you want to achieve, and existing service processes, you gain comprehensive insight into the support potential of the OTOBO service management platform.

You’ll learn all about features that streamline your daily work, the possibilities of integrating OTOBO into your existing IT infrastructure, and ways to automate processes.

We gather your requirements and provide you with a tailored offer, and we’ll coordinate with you on the next steps, budget requirements, project duration, and timeline.

WORKSHOPS

Technical implementation concept

For more complex projects, we create a technical implementation concept if needed.

This may focus, for example, on IT Service Management (ITSM) processes and implementing a Multi-Source CMDB if you want to introduce an ITILⓇ-compliant ITSM system in your IT department.

You may also want to optimize your Customer Service Management (CSM) and implement after-sales processes, such as warranty handling, using the integrated CMDB and integration with your product information system. Or your HR department may want to use OTOBO for employee onboarding and other HR services.

The range of possible OTOBO deployment scenarios is extensive.

WORKSHOPS

Installation, Configuration, Integration of OTOBO

Experienced professionals set up OTOBO for you – whether you want to run OTOBO on your own IT infrastructure or as a Managed Service in a secure data center. We install and configure OTOBO for you and ensure that all jointly defined requirements are implemented in OTOBO.

This includes, for example, coordinating and setting up web services for integrating OTOBO with third-party systems in your existing IT infrastructure or integrating interfaces created for you.

We have found it beneficial to involve your OTOBO administrators closely in this phase. They gain early practical insights into how the system works and can build important expertise.

WORKSHOPS

Review and performance tuning

You’re currently using an older version of OTOBO and want to take the next step towards more efficient support? Performance bottlenecks are holding you back, or you want to roll out OTOBO to additional departments and therefore need to resize?

Together, we analyze your system and assess the current setup in relation to the defined goals. We identify potential issues or untapped potential, introduce you to new or previously unknown functionalities, and collaboratively develop an action plan for optimization.

This may involve configuration adjustments, installing feature add-ons, setting up newly available functionalities, outsourcing attachments, or archiving tickets.

The result – a system optimized for performance. During the joint implementation, your team gains detailed insights and gets to know OTOBO even better.

WORKSHOPS

Switching to OTOBO

You’re currently using an OTRS version or an alternative service management solution and want to switch to OTOBO?

The migration from OTRS to OTOBO has been extensively tested and can be carried out smoothly. Especially with older OTRS versions, the transition can be a bit tricky, which is why we’re happy to handle the migration for you. Upon request, we’ll transfer all tickets, processes, services, attachments, and data from OTRS – nothing will be lost.

Even if you’re coming from a third-party system, such as JIRA, we’re here to assist with the transition and ensure that you have relevant information available in OTOBO.

We’ll discuss the specific approach for the migration with you in advance. It can be performed directly on the production system or initially on a test system. Only after the test migration is successful will the transition to the production system occur. Of course, this can also be done outside of business hours.

Quick and uncomplicated: Switched to OTOBO over the weekend and already back to productivity. We wanted to upgrade from OTRS 3.0.10. At OTRS, they said this was no longer possible. Rother OSS conducted the migration remotely over the weekend. All data is still available, and OTOBO is up and running in production. The support from Rother OSS was quick and straightforward. We look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Thank you very much, the response from colleagues regarding the workshop has been tremendous. Everyone found it exciting to be involved from the beginning and perceived the time as efficient. Everyone is eager to get started. I’ve already received additional ideas and optimization suggestions today. The workshop has already sparked noticeably positive changes in the work atmosphere and collaboration.

Great concept with the implementation and workshop!

Consulting | OTOBO 9

Compelling combination of expertise, experience, and direct, extremely friendly service. After a very smooth migration from OTRS 7 to OTOBO, we discovered the services in the Review Workshop and immediately implemented them – on our own, but always supported by the Rother OSS team. The new self-service portal is well-received. Our users appreciate fast solutions, and the helpdesk and first-level support have been noticeably relieved.

Consulting | OTOBO 10

Rarely does a migration project go so smoothly. Rother OSS supported us very professionally and uncomplicatedly in the migration process from OTRS 6 to OTOBO. We were able to practically move from one system to another without downtime and received valuable tips for optimization.
