packed with features to streamline customer communication across channels like email, chat, telephone and social media.

The source code is [available on GitHub](https://github.com/zammad/zammad) and owned by
the [Zammad Foundation](https://zammad-foundation.org/), which is independent of commercial
providers such as Zammad GmbH.
