Switch from OTRS to Zammad

Choose Zammad and take the next step towards a modern and efficient helpdesk solution! Get in touch with us, and let's discuss your specific needs together. In an initial consultation, we will get to know your individual requirements and preferences to create a customized migration plan.

We recommend a two-stage approach for the migration. First, a test migration will be performed to ensure everything works smoothly and your data is transferred accurately. Only after a successful test migration, the actual produc migration will be carried out at a separate time.

The data you receive as a backup from OTRS 7 or OTRS 8 will be sufficient for a complete migration to Zammad. Our experienced team will be there for you at every step to ensure a seamless data transfer without any loss of information.
