I'm pretty sure you could use ZoHo ManagedEngine system to do that.. Just customize a few things, and you should be able to get right on things.
At least from what I've read of your requirements.
EDITED TO CORRECT Vendor name!

Developing isn't the major task here. maintaining the project would be.
Yeah, but my thinking would be spin up something that is functional to start and probably throw it under GNU/GPL and hand it off to the Dev guys here.
That never actually happens. Just because you GPL something doesn't mean that anyone cares. Unless you make something awesome, it is easier for them to write something fresh than to support your code.
And why would dev guys at the office support your code when they could write this in an hour or two on their own and haven't done so yet? Something doesn't fit. No dev guys wants to maintain someone else's code.
Yeah, I see what you mean. Well, if I was able to make a viable thing to help out myself and my co-workers, that would be looked quite well on by many people.

Would it? I've written VB.NET apps to do stuff custom we needed before at the county. It's usually looked at as can you add this feature or that feature. We want this too now. Oh can you write a program to do this too? Not, Thanks for writing this program it's great.

Yeah, I know that response to stuff all too well too... So maybe just something I can use for me to make it easier would be fine then.

Yes. Both on premises and hosted.

Nice! I will check it out! Thanks!

Maybe on day one. But if there are support issues, security issues, lack of features - it might become quite the opposite down the road.

Also a fair statement. Because then it becomes "you made this, you need to continue dev and support for it", which to a degree I could do but then it becomes a second full-time job! Ok, scratching the idea to make a mass-produced system for everyone.

Can someone get me a link for the Zophos product? I want to make sure I'm on the right page...
-
He made up that name. It is ZoHo ManageEngine. Very large vendor.

Zophos is when Sophos and Zoho merge... It's like a prediction by @g.jacobse

That thought had occurred to me as well.

Should get you there. Zoho is a fairly big IT vendor, they even have a free email service for custom domains.

And really good at what they do. they make great products that work well for IT. Notice I didn't say look good, cause they don't!!

Ok, stupid question, as I was on the right site (and was thinking about the whole Zophos/Sophos thing myself), but which product am I looking at for what was described?
-
Or is the Managed Engine one product with many different functions?

@handsofqwerty said:

Yes and no. The products can be merged into one if you own them all but they are separate. No idea which one. I'd think service desk plus.

Ok, I figured it'd be something with that or the helpdesk, etc but wasn't sure.

It was not intentional... I have corrected it.
