Anyone familiar with 3rd party software or a incident system that creates from email?
I was wondering if there was a tool or some software that took emails and converted them into request? Let's say to a specific email box and from there it would go into an incident management system. Thoughts?

Pretty standard feature. Almost every modern product out there that adheres to ITIL has this capability. Off the top of my head: ServiceDesk Plus, ZenDesk, ServiceNow, Numara, etc. I would actually be surprised to see this feature missing. -

Almost all helpdesk/ticketing software has this capability. For instance, I have our ticketing system configured so that when an end-users sends an email to: help.desk@mycompany.com, it automatically is imported by the ticketing system, assigned a SLA priority of medium (per corporate), and routed to the proper technician client.* Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance

That is great to hear. Honestly I have been a part of several service desk, anywhere from a tech to a manager and In between. I have never seen this feature enabled. I am getting old I suppose. Do you think this can work with SharePoint? I'm going to Google around a bit, but I am curious if there is a plug in to SharePoint to allow this. Thanks a lot for you great answers. -

Help Desk
The Help Desk application template helps departments manage the process of handling service requests. Team members use the application template to identify service requests, to manage identification of the root causes and to track request statuses.
Not sure if this helps or not, but here ya go!

I know HP Service Desk and Service Manager 9 have this feature. BMC Software's Remedy has it too. -

I'm looking for something that is inexpensive and fairly lightweight. Ideally it would be pretty simple.

This was something I looked at a couple years back, unless you have some good developers on hand who can spend time making this using SharePoint isn't easy to slap something together.
It was cheaper for the business to buy manage engine service desk, its a good product for a very cheap price.http://www.darvilleit.com - a blog I write about IT and technology. -
