# Common Systems Group (CSG)

The Common Systems Group (**[<span class="caps">CSG</span>](http://www.csg.oit.ucla.edu/)**) provides the technical expertise and operational perspective for UCLA’s IT governance process.

The <span class="caps">CSG</span> is responsible for ensuring coordination between distributed and central IT activities. It does so by:

- Proactively seeking input and recommendations from a variety of campus committees, offices and campus officials (e.g., the Help Desk Consortium and the Director, IT security);
- Acting as a focal point for technical deployment and implementation for institutional IT projects; and
- Being a technical resource for local IT units in order to facilitate projects that may have cross-departmental implications and to ensure that other units that may be interested are informed of potential collaborations.
