They found that the cloud architecture could significantly improve their internal efficiency and started offering access to their system through the Amazon Web Services in 2005 on a utility computing basis. Google, IBM, and a number of universities followed the suit getting involved in large scale cloud computing research project in 2007.

The software is most commonly used in customer support services to create, update, and resolve the issues reported by customers, or other issues reported by the employees of the organization. The system also encloses a knowledge base containing information on each customer, solutions for common problems, and other such data.

The entire trouble ticket system has a workflow. For a better understanding let's take a small demo. Suppose a customer support technician receives a email, telephone call, or any other communication from a customer complaining about a problem. This might also be in the form of an authentic error reporting. In case, the technician finds the problem is real, he gathers entire information about the problem in details and creates an issue in the system, entering all the relevant data provided by the customer. As work on the issue progresses, the system is updated with the solution to fix the problem. Once the issue is completely solved, it is indicated as resolved in the issue tracking system. There are several trouble ticket system out there in the market, but most of them are on the higher end of price.
