Priority BA3™ at UM: News & Information.

What is BA3™?

BA3™ is departmental management accounting system licensed from Priority Software, Inc. in Birmingham, Alabama.

The software was originally licensed at the University of Maryland College Park by the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Department of Physics in the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The Center for the Advanced Study of Languages joined the original license agreement during the first phase of the project.

Other campus Colleges and Departmental units expressed interest in using the software and the Division of Research assumed project management responsibilities in May 2005. The software is managed by a campus Governing Group and a Functional Users Group. It is now available to interested campus units on a fee basis.

The primary use of BA3™ is to provide departments a useful tool for managing contract and grant accounts.
