Migrate from Outdated OTRS CE to Mint Service Desk: A Step Toward Efficiency and Modernization

Are you still using OTRS Community Edition (CE) to manage your IT service desk? You’re not alone—OTRS CE was once a trusted solution for many organizations. However, with the discontinuation of official support and its increasingly outdated features, sticking with OTRS CE might be holding your business back.

If you're looking for a modern, feature-rich, and cost-effective alternative, it's time to consider Mint Service Desk. Designed for today’s ITSM challenges, MintSD provides everything you need to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and future-proof your service desk.


Why Move Away from OTRS CE?

OTRS CE served its purpose well, but the landscape of IT service management has evolved significantly. Here’s why many businesses are seeking alternatives:

1. Lack of Official Support

With the end of official support for OTRS CE, organizations are left to manage the platform on their own. This can lead to security vulnerabilities, limited functionality, and increased maintenance burdens.

2. Outdated Technology

OTRS CE’s architecture and user interface no longer meet the demands of modern service management. The clunky experience can frustrate both IT teams and end-users.

3. High Maintenance Costs

Even though OTRS CE is free to use, the cost of maintaining and customizing it—especially without official support—can outweigh its benefits.

4. Limited Features

As businesses grow and customer expectations rise, OTRS CE’s limited capabilities make it difficult to scale or integrate with other tools.
