Awards
MartinCSI has been honored with the industry’s top certifications.
Awarded Certified Member status by the CSIA (Control Systems Integrator Association) in 2002, we have passed several independent audits to assure our performance against CSIA industry benchmarks.
The CSIA Certified Member program is built around an extensive “Best Practices and Benchmark” process that was developed in concurrence with Fortune 500 companies and others who use system integrator services, control manufacturers who often team with these firms and other successful CSIA member companies. For more information, see the CSIA Certification Process at the bottom of this page.

The CSIA Certification Process
The CSIA Certified Member program was developed to simplify what is becoming a daunting task of identifying, interviewing, qualifying, evaluating, selecting, and managing control and information system integration firms. This program, unique to firms who work with industrial systems, provides an industry-specific means to identify the areas of importance and minimize the uncertainties.
To become certified, firms must be in compliance with the CSIA’s Best Practices and Benchmarks, a series of documents that define requirements for the express purpose of raising the image of the industry through a quality management system, and pass a third-party audit.
- CSIA certification assures end users and those that recommend control systems integrators that the firm uses sound business practices and has a good quality management system in place. The certification designation indicates that the firm has demonstrated so to an independent auditor.
- Firms with an effective quality management system will typically meet customer expectations better than a control system integrator that does not.
- Many industry equipment suppliers and large manufacturing organizations are requiring that their selected control system integrators be CSIA Certified Members.
- CSIA certification has proven to lead control systems integrators to become better business operators, improve performance, and improve profitability.
