Common Solutions Group Projects

---

The Common Solutions Group identifies problems in information technology which are expected to be critical to the future of their institutions and which are best solved by the institutions working together. The CSG attempts to have only a few projects underway at any given time, with a sufficient level of effort given to drive the solutions quickly.
