LiveTime Software Releases Version 3.5 of its J2EE Help Desk, Customer Service and Support Applications with CSS Based Customization
Update includes Quick Calls, Customization, significant Performance improvements and support for IBM WebSphere and DB2
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 8, 2005 -- LiveTime Software, a leading
provider of J2EE based Service desk software, today announced the
availability of LiveTime Help Desk version 3.5 and LiveTime Support Desk version
3.5. Driven by customer requests, this release includes more than 35 new
features designed to expand the breadth of the product while simplifying the
user experience. The introduction of Quick Calls and customization options,
combined with strengthened support for IBM WebSphere and DB2 make this a
significant release.
Quick Calls
The introduction of Quick Calls in LiveTime
Help Desk will allow supervisors to setup templates for common problems and
solutions. This enables cases to be logged quickly, assigned automatically, and
resolved in a fraction of the time it would normally take. “The savings in time
and resources are significant,” said Dr. Darren Williams, CEO of LiveTime
Software, “they have a major impact on support team effectiveness and best of
all, the ROI is immediate.”
Customizable
LiveTime continues to
emphasize open standards and universal access with complete support for
Cascading Style Sheets level 2 (CSS2) and HTML 4. This enables users to have
total control over the look and feel of the product, with access to every
template in the system. There are currently three levels of control available, ranging from simple
branding, through the standard administration console, to page style and content
using any text editor. This gives users unprecedented power normally reserved
for consultants.
Performance
Performance has been another key focus in
this release with support for connection pooling and primary and secondary
caching architectures. “This significantly boosts performance with high
concurrent access of more than 50 technicians and thousands of users,” said Dr.
George Vossos, CTO of LiveTime Software. Version 3.5 also includes
‘self-healing’ and diagnosis for complete auto-recovery under high traffic
conditions.
IBM WebSphere and DB2
With continued focus on vendor
neutrality LiveTime now includes complete support for IBM DB2 UDB v8.2 and later
running on Solaris, Linux and Windows platforms. The ability to support DB2 UDB
allows an enterprise to standardize its Service Desk on the IBM technology
platform. This release also includes enhanced support for IBM’s WebSphere J2EE
application server.
