as far as I saw and understand OTRS (1.0, 1.1.1), there is currently only the single caller/mail writer as customer model implemented. I am looking for support for a customer (which means a company with possibly several employees/ contact persons) model, which would make it possible to use OTRS in much more companies as with the simple structureless idea of the "patient".
We had the same "problem" here.
If there are such intentions and manpower is the missing thing, I'm willing to invest into such an implemention with a little team of software developers.
I'm not sure if you are looking for that, but OTRS is able to deal with customers (contact persons) which can have the same customer id (one company).
That's our current workaround. Would be nice if you could add a part in the documentation describing the actual meaning of the field. We really can't figure out. Also we are using it now as some kind of free field
-=> That means a customer can see all tickets in the customer interface with the same customer id.
That's great news

At first you'd have to stop using the CustomerId as free field, then step through your customers and "group" them by assigning the same CustomerId to each customer in one enterprise. The form of the CustomerId is up to your choice. You might use the enterprise's name: "Enterprise NCC -1701" or s.th. ;) hth, Robert Kehl
