• Incident/Problem/Tracking: Track all incidents and problems with full audit trail throughout the resolution life cycle.
• Change Request Tracking: All change request records are stored with full history of changes to the record throughout the lifecycle

• Business Rules: Create workflow and custom business processes without programming or scripting
• Workflow Engine: Implement your unique incident and problem resolution processes using the easy to use workflow editor.

• Events: Create review tasks, testing tasks, and approval tasks throughout the lifetime of any incident or request.
• Auto-Routing: Route incidents and problems to an appropriate team member by expertise, availability or a combination of both.  Or to a group folder, state or priority depending on your business rules.
• Auto-Escalation: Escalate incidents or problems based on a combination of categories and time criteria including: elapsed time, no progress made, open too long or due date approaching/passed.
• Notification: Alerts and Reminders define notification rules to ensure efficient communication throughout the resolution process.
• Windows Smart Client and Web Interface: A support team member or an administrator can either work locally using either the Windows client or the Web browser or remotely using the Web browser. Administrators, dispatchers and support reps working remotely can perform their usual functions. Remote end-users worldwide can access and be supported from the same database.
• Attachments and Screen Capture: Both End-Users and Support Team Reps can add attachment or use the built-in screen capture function to add documents or pictures to a ticket or upload them to the knowledge base.

Full text and keyword searches of the knowledge base quickly return documents ranked by relevancy. Resolved incidents can be published as new knowledge items to help resolve similar problems in the future. Those items may be attached to any incident and forwarded to the user.
• Reporting & Analysis: Includes complete, out-of-the-box, reporting with list reports, trend reports, summary reports and distribution reports. Each report is easily customizable, and can be saved, on a per-user basis using a simple reporting configuration page.

About TechExcel Software Overview

TechExcel unifies the enterprise by bridging the gap between product development and service / support. This end-to-end environment empowers companies to optimize the relationship between these important organizations without sacrificing autonomy or business processes and provides a collaborative environment that significantly saves time and resources.

TechExcel's Service and Support Management solutions provide enterprises with total visibility and actionable intelligence for all service desk, asset management and CRM business processes. The fully integrated service desk solutions support ITIL best practice methodologies and deliver improved financial performance, increased management functionality and organizational alignment.

As enterprises rely more heavily on the IT organization, reactive and stand-alone help desks are no longer sufficient to handle the growing demand and complexity of today's distributed businesses. As the IT organization finalizes its move from a cost center to an integral part of the infrastructure, service and support management functions must rely on a single version of truth to ensure that processes are optimized and that the entire business flourishes. TechExcel Service Suite unified the service desk, asset management and customer relationship management functions with a single configuration management database (CMDB) user interface and integrated workflow.
