About Us

Company Overview

Founded in 1973, CSSI has provided its customers with a wide range of constantly evolving technology related solutions. With its roots in a small college town located in north central Pennsylvania, CSSI over the years grew to a more regional company by expanding both its operations and offices to handle multiple states in the mid Atlantic region of the united States.

As technology become more sophisticated, CSSI took advantage of that opportunity and continued to expand its operations and support network to cover a more nation wide customer base. As the demand for CSSI’s products and services continued to grow, CSSI extended its operations globally and most recently opened an office in Bangalore, India.

Today CSSI supports customers in all parts of the world and continues to expand not just in terms of people and locations but by constantly striving to provide the latest in technology solutions to meet the ongoing needs of our customers.
