Cs3 — Milestones

Thinking "Out of the box"

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

– Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)

The fact is that we've been "thinking out of the box" long before it became a cliche! Through a variety of research projects sponsored by various Federal agencies, we have built breakthrough technology and an IP portfolio in areas like data integration, event correlation, and network security.

Innovation is simply in the DNA of our company. We do it because it is what seems natural to us. But, we are heartened that our predilection and talent for research has led to notable results and recognition by those outside our company.
