Computer Software Innovations, Inc. ("CSI") (OTCBB: CSWI), provider of software and technology solutions primarily to the public sector, recently formed a Customer Advisory Board.

The advisory board held its first meeting on Tuesday, May 20, in Columbia, S.C.
The board is comprised of several South Carolina K-12 customers who use the company's Accounting Plus software.

The qualifications, leadership ability, and overall knowledge level of the advisory board's members will truly help navigate the path of the current and future software offerings of our company."

Lordo echoed other participants' opinions about serving on the advisory board: "We consider CSI an integral partner in our successful financial approach to these requirements and value CSI's interest in our business of educating children. We look to CSI for innovative ways to improve our financial processes in light of increased budget constraints we are facing."
During the first advisory board meeting, CSI executives learned valuable information from the customer's perspective about industry-specific business processes.
