CSI is the world’s first company to design and implement Open Process Control Systems

Our Story

CSI was founded in 2021 by Don Bartusiak, the former Chief Automation Engineer at ExxonMobil and for 7 years the co-chair of the Open Process Automation Forum (OPAF). 

Together with other industry leading executives and a group of partners, CSI cofounded the Coalition for Open Process Automation (COPA) who are leading the industry in the design and implementation of Open Process Automation Systems.  Working with customers, we deliver optimal platform and applications solutions with significantly greater business value potential and lower total cost of ownership than currently available systems.
