We’re proud to announce that Data Science Automation (DSA) has successfully completed our 8th CSIA Certification Audit—this audit marks 25 years of continuous certification for our business, and this year’s results were record breaking not only for us, but also for CSIA.
The Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) is a global, nonprofit professional association that supports control system integration companies in building better, more efficient, and more sustainable businesses. The CSIA audit for certification is a rigorous, two-day evaluation of how a company operates across business and technical practices. Thanks to our team's preparation and process maturity, we finished the audit ahead of schedule, and exceeded even our auditor's expectations.
Here's what they had to say regarding our audit:
“DSA got the highest score I've ever awarded—without any curve applied.”
“This was the first time auditing anyone that I couldn't find a single non-conformance... and it really pissed me off (haha).”
“On the grading curve for company size, DSA exceeds a 100% score for 100+ employee companies.”
These results are a testament to the business we’ve worked hard to build, grounded in excellence, discipline, and transparency. This recognition sets the bar not only for us, but also our broader industry. While we are taking a moment to recognize the hard work that has gone into this outcome, we will also use this recognition to continue raising the bar and reinforcing our culture of continuous improvement. We will continue to collaborate with Exotek to reach even higher to better serve our employees, partners, and most importantly, our clients.
We’re grateful to CSIA for setting the gold standard in system integration business practices and to Exotek for challenging us with every audit to become even better. We highly recommend the CSIA Best Practices framework to all of our Automation Controls Group (ACG) portfolio member companies, it’s been central to our business's growth and resilience for over 2 decades.
