51 system integrators reach CSIA’s Gold Tier level

The Control and Information System Integrators Association (CSIA) reports that 51 of its member firms have achieved "Gold Tier" distinction in the association's registered member program. This Gold Tier group also includes CSIA's first European members to earn registered member status.

The Control and Information System Integrators Association (CSIA) reports that 51 of its member firms have achieved ”Gold Tier” distinction in the association’s registered member program. This Gold Tier group also includes CSIA’s first European members to earn registered member status.

CSIA says this level of Gold Tier membership marks a major milestone in the registered member program, and reflects a 100% increase in companies earning the distinction just one year earlier. Gold Tier members include CSIA members that have passed the association’s best practices and benchmarks registration process. The intensive audit process is conducted by an outside auditing firm, which measures a system integrator’s performance in seven business areas: business development, financial management, general management, human resources, project management, quality management and technical management.

”These companies truly serve as the gold standard for control and information system integrators worldwide, and this is a fact given real dimension by the inclusion of four European system integrators among our Gold Tier of registered members,” says Robert Reinhart, CSIA’s chairman. ”All have clearly demonstrated their understanding and acceptance of what it takes to be good businesspeople in addition to being superior technologists.”

”The registration process, announced by CSIA in late 2000, has two missions,” adds Reinhart. ”One is to assist users in evaluating and selecting integration firms, and two is to provide control and information system integrators a means to evaluate and continuously improve their own businesses. The honored Gold Tier class has clearly shown its commitment to the control and information system integration community.”
