Due to the current market development becon uses different forks of the popular ticket system depending on customer requirements. Since Znuny LTS is the only product on the market that maintains full compatibility with the ((OTRS)) Community Edition Version 6 by pure continuation and provides future features in a separate product, we support Znuny LTS as an unofficial successor product within this alliance.

becon’s experts have many years of experience in consulting, implementation, further development, training and support of ((OTRS)) Community Edition. This know-how is the foundation for our services around Znuny LTS, but also Otobo, Ofork and other forks.

becon supports users of the ((OTRS)) Community Edition Version 6 in ensuring support and security fixes for current installations, in migrating to a fork that is more suitable for their requirements, and in connecting applications.

The connection to other applications is achieved by becon through the open source based integration platform OpenCelium, which has been developed since 2016 and can exchange data between all forks and many other applications:
