I apologize in advanced if this is the wrong forum to ask of this, but it is very important. I am in charge of technology at joann.com, the largest arts and crafts ecommerce site out there. This includes a call center that houses many agents. We are currently using a product called Facetime for our customer care emails. Needless to say, this product is too simple for us and not customizable. I have been monitoring the OTRS web site and mailing lists, and I can clearly see that this product can work great for us. I've even showed it to our customer care manager, and she is loving the added functionality. In trying to sell the product to management, it's very easy to say that the product is open source (FREE, but with cost for support) and that it will run on a server that I recently bought (an Apple Xserve). But, the standard question of "Is this something that is actually used at a big company out there?" comes up. Direct responses to me would be appreciated on: Amount of agents using the system at your location Number of tickets that you have in the system and have you seen any problems with a large amount of tickets in the system Any problems that you've noticed with the system What maintenance do you perform on the system and what is the amount of time spent of making sure that everything is working I clearly see that the developers are monitoring the mailing list as they are always willing to help. I've actually made it a point that if I were to setup OTRS for our own use, that we would definitely get support through otrs.de as it's always a good idea to support those who make your life a little easier. I thank all of you in advanced for any responses and could create a short summary of the responses that I could post to the mailing list.
