🔗

Fully integrated

Helpdesk, Projects, and Change Management share one data model. No duplicate records, no integration tax, no switching between tools.

🎯

Every screen, workflow, and report exists because real operations teams use it. No hidden menus filled with features you'll never touch.

🛡️

Nothing hidden in the bill

Reporting, API access, onboarding support, and audit logging are all included. The price you see is the price you pay.

Everything your operations team needs

One platform, one price. Eight modules sharing a single data model — no integrations, no duplicate records, no switching between tools.

01

Help Desk

A full ITIL-aligned service desk built for real IT teams. Raise Incidents and Requests with separate SLA policies per type.

  • SLA policies by priority & ticket type (Incident vs Request)
  • Business hours SLA — clocks only run during working hours
  • Visual SLA countdown bar & breach detection
  • Major Incident declaration with auto Post-Incident Review
  • Escalation engine — auto-reassign, declare MI, or notify
  • Email-to-ticket IMAP intake
  • Canned responses & ticket templates
  • Bulk actions, merge duplicate tickets
  • CSAT surveys auto-sent on resolution
  • Time tracking per ticket
  • Guest self-service portal (no login required)
02

Problem Management

Link related incidents, identify root causes, and prevent recurrence. Turns reactive firefighting into structured resolution.

  • Problem records linked to one or more incidents
  • Root cause analysis fields
  • Known Error Database (KEDB) with published workarounds
  • One-click workaround preview on linked tickets
  • Status lifecycle: Investigation → Known Error → Resolved
03

Post-Incident Review

Full ITIL PIR workflow following Major Incidents. Structured, auditable, and auto-triggered so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Auto-created when a Major Incident is cleared
  • Structured fields: timeline, root cause, business impact, lessons learned, action items
  • PIR reference numbers (PIR-00001 format)
  • Status lifecycle: Open → In Review → Completed
  • Can be raised manually for any significant incident
04

Change Management

Full CAB workflow with approval tracking, freeze periods, and a change calendar. Keeps your environment stable without the paperwork overhead.

  • Change classifications: Standard, Normal, Emergency, Major, Pre-approved
  • Configurable approvals per classification (e.g. Normal = 2 approvers)
  • CAB member approval workflow with comment trails
  • Change Freeze Periods — block changes during critical windows
  • Freeze collision detection & warning
  • Change calendar view
  • Webhook notifications to Teams / Slack on status change
05

Project Management

Lightweight IT project tracking without leaving the platform. Link work directly to tickets and changes for end-to-end visibility.

  • Task & milestone tracking with RAG status
  • Gantt / timeline view
  • Project templates — reusable task blueprints for migrations, rollouts & onboarding
  • PMO dashboard: active projects, overdue tasks, completion rates
  • PMO reporting: task burndown & overdue milestones
06

Systems / CMDB

A living register of your infrastructure — assets, CIs, and their relationships — accessible from anywhere in the platform.

  • Infrastructure asset inventory: hypervisors, VMs, servers, network devices
  • CI relationship mapping — visualise depends_on, connects_to, hosts, runs_on
  • Link CI items directly to change requests
  • Systems dashboard
  • Role-gated: view or full admin access
07

Knowledge Base

An internal KB for agents and a public-facing self-service library that reduces repeat tickets and gives users answers instantly.

  • Articles with categories, tags & rich text content
  • Public / private visibility control
  • Featured articles on the guest portal
  • Linked from ticket detail for quick agent reference
08

Service Catalogue

Guide users to raise the right type of request every time — shown on the guest portal and self-service form.

  • Catalogue items with icon, category & description
  • Links to ticket templates for pre-filled submissions
  • Shown on guest portal to guide unauthenticated users
  • Catalogue requests auto-create tickets

You deserve better than what enterprise vendors charge for

  • 🏢

    One price for the whole organisation - not just IT

    Enterprise tools create licence hoarding. IT buys 10 seats, then HR wants a helpdesk, the workshop wants change management - finance sees the cost of adding 20 more agents and says no. Those teams go back to Outlook inboxes and spreadsheets. OperonITSM's flat £1,000/year covers every team in the business, unlimited people. No counting seats, no asking finance every time you onboard a new coordinator.

  • 💸

    No per-agent pricing

    Enterprise tools bill you for every seat, every month, forever. We charge one flat annual fee - no matter how your team grows.

  • 📦

    No feature bloat

    Enterprise platforms are built to justify enterprise contracts. Operon ships only what lean operations teams actually use - and nothing else.

  • 🚀

    No implementation project

    Self-hosted and self-serve. Configure your environment in hours, not quarters. Your first ticket can be raised on day one.

  • 🧾

    No hidden costs

    One payment covers everything - reporting, API access, onboarding, and support. Your finance team will thank you.
