- Integration between OTRS and FileWave offers IT teams a single point of contact for easy and efficient multi-platform device and task management
- Better together: Security and audit-proof features of OTRS and FileWave bolster data and device governance
Cupertino, CA, October 22, 2024 – OTRS Group, manufacturer of service management software solutions, and FileWave AG, a global leader in multi-platform device management solutions, are partnering up to make device and task management easier and more efficient for IT teams. To kick off the collaboration, OTRS Group and FileWave have integrated their core products: the OTRS ticketing and process automation system and FileWave’s device management solution. All device and asset data can now be synced between the FileWave Management Suite and OTRS’s configuration management database (CMDB). Thanks to single sign-on (SSO) authentication, customers can easily check the status of company devices in OTRS, and seamlessly navigate to FileWave to manage them.
Simplifying security management across all devices
Streamlining device and task management, the integration also simplifies policy enforcement, security and compliance. With a growing mix of operating systems, configurations, and user-owned devices, maintaining consistent security standards and staying compliant with new regulations such as NIS-2 or DORA is more challenging than ever.
OTRS Device Management powered by FileWave provides a unified approach to managing security policies, offering automation, real-time monitoring and seamless deployment of patches across all devices. Robust security features like remote wipe and remote lock, encryption, audit-proof documentation and application and password policies, provide a strong defense against data breaches, ensuring the safety of customers’ data and systems.

“In FileWave, we have found a fantastic partner to offer our customers a state-of-the-art solution that adds real value to their IT departments. FileWave’s expertise in device management combined with our comprehensive process management and automation solutions are a perfect fit,” comments André Mindermann, CEO of OTRS Group. “Our integration enables both FileWave’s customers and our own customers to do more in less time – all while strengthening their security and compliance practices.
