[rt-users] Using RT in a large organization (thousands of users)

[Ken Crocker]

Peter,


    I might also add that we are now planning a project to convert our 
Remedy tickets to RT and move the help desk over. We have RT 3.6.4, not 
nearly as robust as 3.8.2,  and there are just too many flexible options 
for reporting with Custom Fields to NOT use RT.
