About Us
Simply the Best
Our depth of knowledge is unsurpassed
For over 50 years, CBS has supported the diverse group of companies owned by the Orscheln family
Computerized Business Systems was created in 1969 as the automation of business processes became important to the companies owned by the Orscheln family.
From our mainframe beginnings to today’s virtual and cloud-based systems, we have always focused on keeping our customers’ businesses efficient, productive, and secure.
A very diverse and global set of companies, the Orscheln Group has required us to be very agile and creative, learning and integrating new software and hardware systems at often breakneck paces. Our CBS team loves new projects and challenges and has been honed over time to consist only of the very best and most knowledgeable engineers and technicians.
Because of the recent sale of Orscheln’s retail division, we are excited to have the capacity to offer our services to more companies in mid-Missouri.

We love a good challenge
We’re Light On Our Feet
You’d think with the number of years we’ve been doing this work, we would have gotten sluggish and set in our ways. Nope. Not an option. Our customers are always throwing us curveballs…new companies, new factories, new stores, new software, new regulations.
And the truth is, we love it. We never have a dull moment, we’re NEVER bored, and we live for the rush. We’d hate it if we did the same thing day after day.
Creating I.T. environments that are solid, safe, and fast is a fine dance at which we excel.
Let us be your dancing partner.
Our Knowledge Is Deep
We’ve worked with larger companies whose I.T. staff is so compartmentalized that it takes twelve of them to hold a conversation with ONE of our people. We’ve seen smaller companies whose staff is spread so thin that they aren’t good at much more than the basic work it takes to survive each day’s crisis, and who live in fear of a multi-crisis day. Or I.T. service companies that consume a steady diet of recent college grads and have a correspondingly large turnover rate.
We think CBS is the perfect mix of none of those. We’ve been doing what we love for years, and we’ve had the necessity and ability to dig deep to come up with optimum solutions. Even our youngest team members are experts in what they do because frankly, we’re intolerant of anything less.
We know stuff. And we’re happy to share.
