"I don't look at where the business was—I look for where it is going."

C.A. Jones Management Group provides an umbrella for the diverse business holdings of Charles A. (Chuck) Jones, of Murray, Kentucky.

In 1993, Chuck founded Integrated Computer Solutions. This fledging IT services company has provided a platform upon which many new and exciting technology ventures have grown.

Today, C.A. Jones Management Group is involved in leading edge technology services including high-speed wireless broadband in America's rural heartland, secure hosting solutions for major corporate clients nationwide, technology solutions for public schools in several states, and geospatial agricultural data collection tools.

In 2001, C.A. Jones Management Group delved into the specialty retail market, beginning with the acquisition of one of the region's premier gift boutiques, which offers one of the top bridal registries in the region. Since then, C.A. Jones has opened a home furnishings store and a bookstore.

C.A. Jones Management Group took its boldest step in June 2008 with the acquisition of South Eastern Book Company. The nation's fourth-largest wholesale textbook company, SEB provides quality new and used textbooks to colleges and universities throughout the United States.

In 2010, SEB made an equity investment in CollegeBookRenter.com, an online textbook rental company. While SEB specializes in wholesale textbooks and textbook distribution, CBR has established itself as a major player in the textbook rental industry.

From specialty retail stores that give local consumers alternatives to big box retailers to technology companies that assist understaffed IT departments in local schools, and a textbook rental company dedicated to driving down the costs of college education, the C.A. Jones Management Group is committed to providing quality and service across each of its divisions
