Hi all, At the advice of Walter Görlitz (reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Walter_G%C3%B6rlitz#Reverting_IssueTrak), I have recreated the IssueTrak page in my user space for approval from editors to remove the page creation block placed in 2012 (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/IssueTrak). I believe that the below article demonstrates WP:GNG. Looking forward to your feedback and recommendations on the page content, and would also appreciate more details on how to move forward and officially submit for recreation.

Thanks, Buffalo747 (talk) 17:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

IssueTrak, based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is a provider of help desk software and issue tracking systems for creating, updating, and resolving strategic business processes.

First released in 2000, its proprietary software package consists of a core issue tracking system (IssueTrak) and five optional add-on modules. The core software application is a platform used by small- to large-sized organizations for internal and external customer service and support, help desk, workflow, process management, and issue tracking. Integrating the add-on modules, the software application can be expanded to track and scan for assets, process invoices, and manage surveys. The software also includes knowledge base, email notification, and escalation functionality.

IssueTrak is offered as a hosted or leased solution. The software runs on Windows Server 2003, 2003 R2, 2008 or 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise or Datacenter Edition) utilizing a Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, or 2008 or 2012 (Workgroup, Standard, or Enterprise) backend database and is accessible via a web-based client.

History
IssueTrak was founded in 1992 by Hank Luhring as a software development firm delivering custom tracking applications. The company expanded its offerings to create a web-based software program that would allow customers to enter support requests online.
