Czech Society for Systems Integration (CSSI) associates several hundreds of organizations – enterprises, institutions and universities, and individuals who are delivering or employing information and communication technologies and information services.

The main interest of CSSI is the improvement of the management of information systems development and operations in companies and institutions. CSSI is intensively engaged in the ICT market, analyzes its trends and periodically publishes results. CSSI also brings out articles and other publications concerning topics actually discussed in theory and practice of systems integration and other topics relevant in the Czech Republic or abroad.
