We have been using the RT since last 12 months.
We are using it for various office tracking mechanisms like HR issues, Office Admin issues, IT network issues, web inquiries.
We have found it very useful, and it has helped us to track various issues that were getting forgotten.
We are using RT 3.8.6, and there is now a new version as mentioned here.
Please let us know whether we should upgrade to RT 3.8.7 now or later.
