What is the TAS group?
The UC Advisory Group on Technical Acquisition Support (TAS) was set up in 1994 to consider University-wide agreements for computer hardware and software. It consists of representatives from each of the campuses, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and the UC Office of the President. Group members meet once a month via a teleconference call to discuss product selection, pending renewals, and new agreements. Discussions also include campus implementation and distribution processes as well as suggestions for future software agreements.
