A Mark of Excellence

Certification is a program of the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA). It is a certification uniquely designed for control system integration companies. The audit verifies business practices and is available only to CSIA members. An audit is required every three years to assure continued compliance.

Why is a CSIA certification important?

Good business practices are as critical for success. This certification indicates that an integrator complies with CSIA’s best practices in the following areas of their business:
• General Management
• Financial Management
• Human Resources Management
• Supporting Activities
• System Development Lifecycle
• Service and Support
• Quality Assurance Management
• Marketing, Business Development and Sales Management
• Financial Management
• Supporting Activities
• Service and Support

A CSIA certification removes the burden from the client of auditing the business practices of the system integrator. This certification program for control system integrators is like requiring licenses for doctors, certification for accountants, and licenses for plumbers and electricians. You’re more likely to get good results when your service provider has proper credentials.

Read how we apply CSIA best practices in our case studies.

Watch how our project methodology exemplifies CSIA standards.

Automation Group is a long-standing CSIA certified member. You can rest assured that we are committed to the long-term success of your company with our CSIA certified mark of excellence.
