The management of an IT park is becoming increasingly complex for companies, faced with the rapid evolution of technologies. According to recent studies, more than 60 % of organisations experience service interruptions linked to inefficient IT management, leading to significant financial losses and a direct impact on user satisfaction.
The IT resource management and assistance has become essential to ensure operational continuity, optimise costs, and guarantee effective technical support. Thanks to the open‑source solutions offered by LINAGORA, such as GLPI and Zammad, companies can automate ticket management, centralise the IT inventory, and benefit from the support of the open‑source community.
What is IT resource management and assistance?
IT resource management consists of supervising and optimising all of a company’s IT assets: computers, servers, software, and network equipment. This includes:
IT inventory: complete tracking of hardware and software resources.
- Ticket management: centralising assistance requests for swift resolution.
Assistance and technical support: proactive intervention to resolve incidents and maintain performance.
The assistance service plays a strategic role, ensuring end‑users receive fast and effective support. Using open‑source tools like GLPI for ticket management and Zammad for request tracking streamlines these processes and improves employee satisfaction.
The benefits of open‑source solutions for IT management
Adopting open‑source solutions for IT resource management and assistance delivers tangible advantages:
1. Cost reduction
Companies no longer need expensive licences for proprietary tools. With GLPI and Zammad, they have robust, high‑performance solutions while cutting software‑related expenditures.
2. Flexibility and customisation
Open‑source solutions allow you to adapt functionalities to your specific needs. Whether you want to automate the assistance service, keep a precise IT inventory, or manage complex ticket management workflows, these tools offer complete modularity.
3. Security and transparency
Open source code guarantees enhanced security, as it can be continuously audited and adapted. Companies can therefore anticipate vulnerabilities and maintain an optimal security level for their infrastructures.
4. Community support
The open‑source community provides significant added value: sharing best practices, rapid bug fixes, and collaborative development of new features.
5. Automation and time saving
Integrating GLPI and Zammad automates ticket management and incident tracking, reducing request processing time and boosting the efficiency of technical support.
