February integrations: email and IT management

This month at Zendesk, we’ve been hard at work on a variety of integrations to help you support your team and company. We strive to provide tools that help you run your customer support or internal help desk more efficiently, and this most recent batch should help you do just that.

Innotas – IT project management

Do you ever wonder how your money is being spent within your IT group? What projects are taking up the most resources? Where should you be allocating your dollars and time? Zendesk has now partnered with Innotas, a leading provider of cloud-based project- and application-portfolio-management solutions, to provide powerful insights into IT governance. Achieve greater IT transparency at lower costs by combining two best of breed products.

Different groups work in different systems, and managing this complex network of people and applications is key to achieving IT efficiency and business alignment. The seamless integration between Zendesk and Innotas provides IT leaders a complete view of where their organization is investing time, resources, and money across projects, tickets, and applications.

With Zendesk for Innotas, you can provide a single point of entry for any IT request, promote tickets from Zendesk into projects in Innotas for proper governance and resource management, send tasks from Innotas project plans to Zendesk to be worked as tickets, and all the while, keeping everything in both Zendesk and Innotas in sync. Let’’s say a help desk ticket comes in and after a quick look, your team immediately knows this is bigger than just a quick ticket—it’’s actually a project that’’s going to take 40 hours to complete. Zendesk for Innotas allows you to flag the ticket in Zendesk for promotion to a project in Innotas, quickly pushing it to the next step of the workflow without reentering data and while maintaining the full history and lifecycle of the request.
