<Title>DATE CHANGE-RT ticket system downtime notice for 12-19-2013</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">I apologize for any confusion created by the change from 12-14-2013 6am-2pm to 12-19-2013 6pm-9pm, however some logistical challenges have necessitated us to reschedule. The good news is that our lead technical person on this upgrade, Jeremy Gude, was able to take advantage of some database options which will reduce the downtime by an anticipated 5 hours.<br><br>If an issue arises during the downtime please call the Technology 
    Support Center (TSC) at 410-455-3838. Their Thursday hours are until 8pm
     and you can leave a voice mail and someone will get back to you during 
    the normal operating hours.<br> <br>Request Tracker (RT) has been in place almost 5 years now running on the same hardware. 
    <br><br>Over the next 6 months DoIT will be upgrading the hardware and application staring with Phase 1 for the database server hardware.
