    Time for another poll. 

    How many helpdesk staff does it take to support your clients (sounds like the beginning of a joke no?)

    Are you overstaffed?  Understaffed?

    How do you compare with other organizations running a helpdesk?

    Cast your vote and tell us a bit about your helpdesk / service desk.  To work out your ratio, use this formula

    (Total number of supported clients) / (total number of support staff)
