For 30 years, CSP has been developing customized software for modular quality management, for visual assembly assistance systems and for database archiving. The company has made a name for itself in many manufacturing industries, whether automotive, renewable energies or chemicals, battery technology, aerospace, agricultural or medical technology. Its success is also based on a strong external orientation. “We cooperate intensively with external partners,” explains Managing Director Korbinian Hermann. “We follow current developments in specialist circles and seek discussions with customers, association representatives and researchers. We also follow which institutes are investing in which topics or founding new spin-offs where in the world.” In regular meetings, which are also attended by top management and decision-makers from the specialist departments, the project teams develop multidimensional analyses: Which megatrends are emerging? Where are trends accumulating, where are developments becoming more concentrated? What do our customers want? “This allows us to respond flexibly and with a broad range of topics,” adds the managing director.
