Consulting, Services and Solutions Group, Inc. (CSSG), is headquartered in Northern Virginia in "old town" Fairfax.  We are a privately-held multi-million dollar corporation, that has emerged as a preeminent resource for the delivery, training, implementation, systems integration and support of predictive student performance data management systems, system-wide standardizations and outsourcing services.

Our clients enjoy the many benefits of having the CSSG team involved in their mission critical application deployments.  We ensure our team understands the Client’s environment and requirements along with our understanding and specializations in student data management, student performance data mining, and reporting at all levels of the school site and school system.  We incorporate our client’s requirements into comprehensive offerings, system implementations, application development and support of student information management and accountability systems, in the K-12 Education sector.  We deliver, implement and support numerous technologies including student information management solutions such as the award-winning Chancery Student Management Solutions for student information/data management. To assure our clients and prospective clients are positioned to meet the challenges of ensuring that No Child Is Left Behind we offer powerful, intuitive administrator, teacher, student and parent friendly solutions such as our flag-ship Standards of Learning Assessment Resource – SOLAR® diagnostic benchmark assessment system.  SOLAR® is an online pre- and post diagnostic benchmark testing system that is providing results for schools and school districts within months of use.  Schools are seeing their pass rates soar!! Numerous school sites using SOLAR® are achieving 100% pass rates in content areas after one year of use.  In other words, EVERY CHILD PASSED the actual Standards of Learning content area tests with teacher and administrator use of the prescriptive data provided by the powerful SOLAR® scoring and reporting system.  One principal announced that "... after using SOLAR® for one year, my standards of learning student pass percentage rates were off the charts..."  His school has been fully accredited two years in a row and consistently meets AYP since implementation of SOLAR® .  The SOLAR® system is the first and only system on the market that allows the combination of both online and paper-based benchmarking of students with rapid online pin-pointing of the achievement gaps by standard of learning content area, and/or content strand and/or Essential Skill(s) division-wide, by school building, by classroom/homeroom and by student.  This system allowing school faculty and the district to immediately execute SOLAR® Individual Intervention Plans (SIIPs) for students by Essential Skill gap.  This powerful online testing tool provides the benchmark author full control of benchmark test formulation whether it is delivered online, or paper-based with the SOLAR®  automatically generated and pre-slugged answer scan sheets.  The author of the district/division benchmark assessment is able to map the benchmark assessment to the nine (9) week school division Pacing Guides/Lesson Plans (scope and sequence) by core content area (i.e. English, Mathematics, Social Science/History, Science), by strand and Essential Skills.  Teachers and administrators are able to pin-point the achievement gaps by standard of learning content area, Essential Knowledge and Skill with the SOLAR® system.  The SOLAR® Advanced Reporting Module allows District/Division or Building Administrators and/or teachers to pin-point achievement gaps by grade, classroom, by gender and by specific sub-groups (ethnicity, LEP, socio-economic) and by multiple sub-group combinations.  The school or central office staff software requirements are:  Internet Explorer 5.2 or higher and Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher installed on all workstations that will access the web-based SOLAR system.  Meeting these software requirements provides a teacher or administrator the ability to generate a plethora of reports immediately after a division-wide diagnostic benchmark assessment.

We also provide online student registration solutions that allow parents the ability to complete the entire paper registration process on-line at home, at the local library, from their job, or at the school site.  This solution has a direct positive impact on the productivity of office staff responsible for student registration.  The RegiStudentTM system is accessed by a parent from the school district or school website.  Registrars, Guidance office staff, and others only need to check the student data when the parent arrives at the school site for formal registration, confirm receipt of original health and residency record, make minor updates, print the forms for signature and then process the registration information into the current student management/information system.  The online registration system ports all the data into your Student Management/Information System seamlessly.

Our company’s success stems from the high quality services that we consistently deliver to our Clients worldwide.  We clearly understand that our Clients purchase products from us with the understanding that high quality CSSG services and consultation will always be wrapped around the products to ensure solutions are delivered, not simply products.   It begins, but doesn’t end with our program management staff members, whom are renown for delighting clients by consistently ensuring that our projects are within budget and meet the project requirements specification document or contractual understanding.  Program management’s close coordination and management of our software development team of Oracle, WebObjects/WebSphere, and SQL professionals, in partnership with our report development/data mining team with extensive skills with reporting tools including Crystal Decisions and ReportMill, and our Quality Assurance team members, ensures that our clients, time and again, receive application deliverables and solutions that exceed their requirements. 

Our application and technical support team is the best in the industry.  Our Clients know that when they Ask CSSG by submitting an application and technical support inquiry to our organization by either telephone or via the internet, a resolution is provided in almost all cases during the initial contact.  Our Clients are not accustom to waiting 1- 2 hours or more for problem resolution.  We are not accustom to allowing them to wait either.  Quite frankly, we work hard to delight our Clients, because they deserve more than simply being satisfied.  Our clients know, when they “Ask CSSG” , in addition to a timely response,  they also receive a detailed, written recap of the application and/or technical problem and it’s resolution via e-mail for any new problems that are not currently in the CSSG “Frequently Asked Questions” online support help desk database.
