OTRS 2.4 beta 1 help desk system released

Hauke Böttcher, the OTRS director of sales and marketing, has announced the release of the first beta of OTRS (Open source Ticket Request System) version 2.4 (code-named Aitutaki Beach). The open source help desk system includes several improvements and new standard reports. The release also adds the ability to create plug-ins for the management dashboard.
