Customers
CSPi sells to small and mid-sized businesses as well as large enterprise customers that need multi-vendor IT solutions and limited internal engineering resources. Its Technology Solutions segment targets customers in verticals such as automotive, defense, healthcare, education, federal, state and local government, maritime, web hosting, telecommunications, financial services, distribution, professional services, and manufacturing. These customers buy CSPi because it can source, integrate, install, and support hardware, software, and managed services through a single point of contact. The company also serves defense and commercial customers that need specialized high-performance computing and network hardware. Recurring managed services and cloud offerings appeal to customers seeking predictable monthly billing and outsourced IT operations.

Strategy
CSPi’s strategy is centered on combining product resale with higher-value integration, consulting, and managed services so it can capture more of the customer IT spend. The company emphasizes solutions for SMBs and large enterprises with complex environments, where its ability to bundle hardware, software, installation, and support is a differentiator. It is also expanding recurring managed and cloud services, which helps reduce dependence on one-time hardware transactions and improves customer stickiness. In High Performance Products, the company focuses on specialized network and cluster computing offerings that serve niche technical requirements rather than broad commodity markets. Its direct sales model and vendor relationships are important to maintaining access to major OEM products and to competing against larger VARs and systems integrators.
Recurring services reduce dependence on hardware resale and improve customer retention.
Integration and consulting help differentiate CSPi from commodity resellers and support higher-margin work.
Specialized products can defend pricing and create technical barriers in targeted markets.
Geography
Q2/2026CSPi generated 98% of fiscal 2025 revenue in the Americas, 2% in Europe, and a negligible amount in APAC and Africa. The company operates from sales offices in the United States and the United Kingdom, with the TS segment specifically operating in both countries. This geographic mix means the business is heavily exposed to U.S. demand, while Europe contributes a smaller but recurring international footprint. The limited APAC and Africa revenue indicates that international diversification is modest, so regional customer spending and procurement cycles matter more than broad global scale. Because revenue is tied to customer location where products are shipped or services are rendered, the company’s operating footprint and sales coverage directly shape revenue concentration.
Share of the revenue the company reports by geography.
Risks
CSPi is exposed to customer concentration risk because both segments rely on a relatively small number of significant customers, so a loss or slowdown at one account could materially affect revenue. The company also faces intense competition from large VARs, OEMs, and systems integrators, which can pressure pricing and margins in hardware resale and services. Its business depends on skilled technical personnel and the ability to retain them, making hiring and retention a meaningful operating risk. Cybersecurity, systems outages, and third-party disruptions are especially relevant because CSPi sells security and managed IT services and also operates customer environments. Broader geopolitical and supply-chain disruptions, including conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, can affect customers, suppliers, foreign exchange, and delivery timing even when direct revenue exposure is limited.

Impact: Can affect cost of sales and gross margin.
Receivables from customers and financing receivables require estimates of collectability.
Impact: Can affect operating results and balance sheet quality.
Management must assess recoverability of intangibles and deferred tax assets based on future profitability.
Impact: Can create non-cash charges and volatility in net income.
U.K. operations and international sales create currency translation and transaction exposure.
