Common Systems Group (CSG) The Common Systems Group ( CSG ) provides the technical expertise and operational perspective for UCLA’s IT governance process. The CSG 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. see also, http://www.csg.oit.ucla.edu/ http://it2020.ucla.edu/governance-tracking
