About Steven Dyer

Central Service AssociationIn the mid-1930’s, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was just beginning to generate electricity and make it available to citizens of the Tennessee Valley area. North Mississippi was one of the first areas in the country where this relatively new and scarce form of energy was made available to individual consumers. Distribution of electricity was being performed by newly formed local “distributorships\", which were “publicly” owned by local government entities, or cooperatives owned by the individual consumers. In 1937, CSA was born of a cooperative effort by these new utility distributors to create a method of using centralized expertise to perform utility customer billing and other joint services that were determined as useful to the efficient operation of these new utilities. On January 3, 1938, Central Service Association was incorporated under the laws of the State of Mississippi. The Association is operated without profit and solely for the benefit of its member/owners. Today, CSA serves well over 100 utilities in eight states.For more than 75 years, CSA has provided a wide array of services to public utilities. Today we are a complete source for customer, financial and engineering information systems, networking, Internet, communications, hardware and software, consulting and statement mailing services. We are truly a “one-source resource” for information technology within public utilities. One thing we offer utilities is options. Most CSA systems can be installed either in the utility office or hosted at our facility in Tupelo. While CSA offers a complete line of hardware and software from well known companies like IBM, Dell, Trimble and Lexmark, we do allow utilities the option to shop for and buy these items on their own. It all boils down to this – CSA is a company with one goal in mind; to provide the best information technology products and customer service to public utilities.
