Do end users benefit from system integrator certification?

摘要

End users do perceive benefits when system integrators receive CSIA certification, according to research on end users and interviews by Control Engineering. See graphic below. Bryan Downer, VP of sales at hygienic processing equipment manufacturer CSI, said he recognizes the benefits of hiring a CSIA Certified Integrator: "Certification gives us a degree of assurance that the company really can do integration. A lot of people can build panels and write code, but they don't understand how controls integrate with one another. Companies that have invested in their infrastructure to become certified fit a certain mold. They have capabilities that go beyond the root core, that add additional integration value."
