The Open-source Ticket Request System ( OTRS ) is more than a mailing list notification system for ticket requests.

OTRS has integrated functionality for creating, reworking and searching FAQ texts.

The scalability of OTRS systems may be increased by using mod_perl for the Apache Webserver or by separating the database and web server systems, allowing a large number of simultaneously working agents and high volumes of tickets.

OTRS is part of the Lisog open source stack initiative.

OTRS is a multiuser system which means that multiple agents may work simultaneously on the tickets in OTRS, reading the incoming messages, bringing them in order, and answering them.

OTRS is highly scalable, capable of handling thousands of tickets per day and a nearly unlimited number of simultaneously working agents.

By using a multilingual web user interface, OTRS is usable independently from the respective operating systems since it is operated from a web browser.

For example, the incident handling system SIRIOS of BSI, Germany, is based on OTRS.

The City and District of St Albans retains and reserves all rights in respect of the Arms, and has consented to their use in the stated articles per OTRS ticket 2007030610008758 under the fair use provision.

Different functionalities are implemented as reusable backend modules, making it possible to create custom modules to extend the functionality of the OTRS system.

In UNIX and UNIX-like environments OTRS works closely with system programs like the mail transfer agent Postfix or the mail filter procmail.

Furthermore, this facilitates the usage of OTRS by external agents or even customers participating in, working on or contributing to tickets.

OTRS has the ability to merge multiple requests about the same incident, thus making it possible to work on an incident rather than on singular requests.

In 2003, the Officer Tertiary Recruitment Scheme ( OTRS ) was introduced, which involves the recruitment of officers enrolled in tertiary study.

OTRS establishes a framework of functions.

Since its beginnings OTRS has been implemented in the programming language Perl.

Originally, OTRS worked only on MySQL databases.

OTRS may be used on many UNIX or UNIX-like platforms ( e. g. Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, etc.

The OTRS. org project was founded in 2001 by Martin Edenhofer.

OTRS has been installed over 80, 000 times worldwide.
