Core Australian Specification for Management and Administrative Computing (CASMAC)

In the early 1990s, there was a push for Australian universities to develop common administrative systems (CASMAC — Core Australian Specification for Management and Administrative Computing) to overcome the problems inherent in the old systems. This push lead to the establishment of two consortia, UniOn and UniPower, which were charged with the task of developing a full suite of administrative computing systems. The University of Sydney joined UniPower.The initiative was unsuccessful.
