Integrating Jira Service Management with classic Request-o-Matic Web Helpdesk.

Hello,

I manage the service desk at an MSP. A new client runs a large internal Support Desk using the SW Web Helpdesk. I've never really used SolarWinds software, let along the Web Helpdesk. It is even called Request-O-Matic. They called it ROM. It isn't even called that outside of their organization, I don't think.
Even though there is a lot of documentation about integration between Jira Service Mgmt and SW Web Helpdesk, I am not finding much of it helpful.
If anyone has done this or has any insight, here are the details.

We run Jira Service Mgmt Cloud-based.

We have multiple projects; each one is a unique client with hundreds of end users (customers)

We have set up a project for this new client who already has ticketing software they like, and they plan to keep it for 2024.

I need to figure out how to integrate it so that when a ticket is created in Solar Winds Web Helpdesk a ticket is simultaneously made in that Jira project.
If internal notes are added to a ticket in Jira, they transfer to the internal or private notes on its pair in Solar Winds Web Helpdesk.

We have integrated before; we use Exalate to integrate Salesforce Desk and a Project in Jira Service Mgmt.
We've used emails to integrate OS Ticket, a small, little-known, open-source ticket system. Integrating OS Ticket with a project in Jira Service Mgmt. wasn't clean.  We finally got this client to move to JIRA!
We know Atlassian and JIRA very well, and there is a KB about this; Jira KB is traditionally unreliable, so I was hoping to talk to someone who has experience with this.

Thank you kindly.  I am grateful for any feedback.

Mahalo!

  • Integrating Jira Service Management with SolarWinds Web Helpdesk can be a bit tricky, especially if the documentation doesn’t hit the mark. I had a similar challenge with integrating different ticketing systems before. One thing that really helped was learning to create filters in Jira to better manage and view the synced tickets.You might need to use a middleware tool or custom script to handle the integration smoothly. Since you’re familiar with Exalate, it might be worth reaching out to them or similar integration specialists to see if they can offer a solution for SolarWinds Web Helpdesk.
