(PRWEB) July 19, 2006 -- LiveTime Software, a leading provider of Java-based Customer Service and Support software, today announced that its web-based help desk management tool, LiveTime Help Desk, has been selected by Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) to manage and deliver a complete IT Help Desk Service to its customers.

We were immediately attracted to LiveTime’s ease of use and pure internet architecture

The Information Systems Department at CML selected LiveTime to power its help desk and support the team responsible for delivering IT services to 800 staff and 1700 computers across 22 sites. The library includes Main Library, Outreach Services Division and 20 branches located throughout Franklin County, Ohio, and is ranked number one among large U.S. public libraries.

"We were immediately attracted to LiveTime’s ease of use and pure internet architecture," said Penny Phensuvabharp, manager of Computer Operations for CML. "LiveTime met all our requests and needs for an in-depth demonstration of their product, and we look forward to working with them to provide the best possible service to our customers."

"The task of selecting the best help desk solution to replace their current installation was driven by the need to deliver a service that was truly web based," said Kerry Butcher, Vp of Marketing at LiveTime Software. "The ability to customize workflows, interface, and case database were also key requirements."
