Access Management System contract awarded
Jisc is pleased to announce that the contract to provide an Access Management service for UK Further and Higher Education has been awarded. This means that institutions will continue to access electronic resources via the Athens system for a further three years, from 1 August 2003 - 31 July 2006.
Representatives from Jisc's Committee for Content Services (JCCS) undertook a thorough review of the technical requirements of the Access Management service during the procurement process to ensure that the chosen provider will supply a service that fully meets the needs of the education community.
Jisc and EduServ will continue to work together over the next three years to further develop the Athens service for the benefit of the community.
