To become a CSIA Certified member, a member company must pass an independent audit with stringent performance standards in nine management categories: general; human resources; marketing, business development and sales; financial; project; system development lifecycle; supporting activities; quality assurance; and service and support. Certified members are re-audited every three years and recertified if they meet current performance standards. The certification criteria is spelled out in CSIA’s Best Practices and Benchmarks, the accepted roadmap for system integrators committed to delivering the level of quality, performance and long-term support their customers expect.
CSIA also notes that executive director Robert Lowe will be part of a panel discussion titled “How to select a system integrator and manage the relationship” at The Automation Conference May 14-15 in Chicago. The Automation Conference is produced by Summit Media Group’s Automation World and Packaging World magazines.
