ScriptLogic Corporation, www.scriptlogic.com, a leading provider of systems lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft Windows-based networks and a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Software, Inc., today announced the availability of ScriptLogic BridgeTrak 7.0, a comprehensive help desk management solution offering seamless issue ticket tracking to reduce the entire lifecycle of a desktop issue. This release follows ScriptLogicÂ’s acquisition of Kemma Software and its BridgeTrak Suite, adding a new element to the companyÂ’s portfolio of desktop management tools.

ScriptLogic BridgeTrak 7.0, which is available immediately as a stand-alone solution, allows IT administrators to track end usersÂ’ IT issues. Available for both Windows and via a Web interface, ScriptLogic BridgeTrak is ideal for IT administrators and external support professionals who need an efficient way to manage multiple issue tickets in order to ensure the productivity of end users.

“ScriptLogic’s customers expect desktop management offerings that provide comprehensive IT management in a user-friendly format, and we have delivered on those expectations with each additional tool,” said Nick Cavalancia, vice president of marketing at ScriptLogic. “With the introduction of ScriptLogic BridgeTrak, our customers can efficiently manage IT help desk issues while using our configuration tools for remediation.”

ScriptLogic continues to enhance its desktop management product line to provide a powerful tool set for IT administrators to efficiently accomplish daily tasks and manage the desktop lifecycle from birth to decommission. Using ScriptLogic BridgeTrak 7.0 for reporting and tracking issues, and ScriptLogic Desktop Authority® for prevention and resolution of those issues, IT administrators manage the longest and most complex phase of the desktop lifecycle, daily desktop configuration.
