Data Science Automation began as so many startup companies do; in the garage and as a home office getting attention on a part-time basis. DSA saw its first paying client in 1995, moved into a small suburban Pittsburgh industrial park, and began expanding. In 1997, DSA moved and established the first NI Certified Training Center and engineering offices in nearby Southpointe. In that same year, DSA also opened a second office in Washington, DC.

DSA opened offices in Columbus and Cleveland in 1998, expanded the Southpointe location in 1999, opened an office in Philadelphia in 2000, and opened an office in Kansas City in 2001, and acquired LCISoft, a technical consulting firm offering advanced IT and business automation services.

DSA has had the opportunity to diversify its technical proficiencies to address difficult business-related challenges under high levels of scrutiny and performance expectations, working for the most respected and demanding Fortune 500 companies.

Under tight leadership, DSA was awarded National Instruments' Select Integrator status for the last six years, and has earned fastest-growing recognition awards from the Pittsburgh Business Times and the Pittsburgh Technology Council 5 out of the past 6 years.
