We like Joomla. Its a great content management system (CMS) for building and maintaining websites. We like OTRS. It's a really powerful tool for managing tickets sent in by customers. What we've done with our OTRS gateway component is allow Joomla sites access to OTRS tickets.
Joomla is an extremely powerful CMS with a wide range of extensions. Its templating and component system enables a wide range of functionality to be simply installed while maintaining a consistent look and feel to a website. However, Joomla has lacked a really comprehensive ticketing system.
OTRS is a feature packed ticketing system allowing things like time tracking, email handling and reporting. However, it has its own templating system, so integrating a customer facing interface to an existing website can lead to a duplication of work and a less than seamless customer experience.
Our OTRS Joomla! gateway solves this problem by allowing customers direct access to their tickets via Joomla. OTRS agent users still manage tickets using the OTRS web interface and have access to all the power of OTRS.
