Ron Johnson, CSI founder, said, “Through this process it was critical for me to find an ownership transition solution that offered a good home for our employees and gave us confidence that our clients would continue to receive the outstanding quality and service they have come to expect from CSI. We believe our team will thrive in the combined organization and our clients will benefit from expanded capabilities and capacity.”
