TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I suggest you look at the blog for a gentleman who is about to launch
an advanced helpdesk management system called HelpSpot: http://www.userscape.com
Going through his two preview blogs explain some of the issues
affecting help desk operation and how they can be streamlined through
a carefully considered approach.
I would also seek some current users of any system to find out what
they like and what they don't about the software and about its vendor.
