 Flexibility
ETA can offer its clients complete flexibility in the type and way it provides its consulting services.  Structure varies based on the client's needs.  Possible structures include:

 CAE project services--ETA can support clients virtual product development activities on a scale ranging from a single simulation and design analysis to a complete engineering design scope, including engineering drawings and prototype parts. Project can make use of our offshore locations, in India and China.

 On-site project team--ETA can provide turnkey engineering teams, consisting of manpower, computing resources and facilities, to assist the client undertaking an engineering program. The ETA group would work as a member of the client's own engineering team, providing the flexibility and agility to meet any variation in its workload.

 Technology transfer programs--The final technical recommendations based upon analysis form only part of the project's objectives. Running parallel to the analysis, ETA's team uses the project as a training tool to mentor the client's engineers.

 CAE process consulting--ETA has been uniquely placed to observe the many ways CAE has been integrated into the engineering process. Based upon many years of experience and training ETA offers:

    CAE process-auditing aimed at optimizing process design and implementation

    Identification and introduction of new CAE technology trends

    Management and support of CAE facilities; software licences, hardware and networking

    Database creation and management of analysis models, material libraries and other support documentation

    Recruiting and contract staffing
