Hornbill Unveils Integrated ITIL Support at ITSMF Show Stand Visitors Entered for 6 x £200 Red Letter Day Prizes

November 10th, 2003 -- Supportworks IT Service Management Provides ITIL Rapid Deployment & Compliance Stand S5 - ITSMF Show, Brighton Metropole, 10th - 12th November

10th November 2003 - Hornbill Systems Limited, an innovative provider of support and service management systems, will unveil Supportworks IT Service Management (ITSM) at the ITSMF show. Supportworks ITSM enables organisations to develop and deliver services and processes supporting any IT infrastructure across any size of organisation either single site or multi-site nationally or globally.

Hornbill will also be showing Supportworks version 6, announced in summer 2003, which saw the introduction of a fully scriptable forms environment and the provision of other support services making Supportworks V6 one of the most adaptable solutions for any form of support request management.

All visitors to the Hornbill stand that leave their business cards will be entered into a daily prize draw to win one of six £200 Red Letter Day activity vouchers to experience anything from a health spa visit or a balloon trip through to a Motor racing session.

Patrick Bolger, Sales Director at Hornbill comments; "Our new ITSM configuration allows rapid deployment of ITIL for any organisation wishing to embrace best practice. By providing ITIL compliance as a configuration, rather than a hard coded product, our customers retain the flexibility to use a single support platform for IT Service Management and any other support discipline. This approach allows several support configurations to co-exist, without imposing the business processes of one department on another. Our customers can run their IT Service Desk, external customer support desk, facilities helpdesk from the Supportworks platform, allowing all groups to be managed centrally using a configuration that fits their exact requirements without compromise."
