Overview

Without department alignment, even the best systems and talent can underperform. EAC’s Functional Group Assessment gives organizations a focused, data-driven analysis of how each functional area (such as Engineering, Manufacturing, or Service) operates, collaborates, and uses technology.

We identify gaps in processes, data management, and system utilization, then provide targeted recommendations to boost efficiency, communication, and ROI across the enterprise.

Whether you’re preparing for a PLM upgrade, launching digital transformation initiatives, or simply looking to improve productivity, our FGA helps you not only see exactly what’s holding your teams back but how to fix it.

Common Challenges We Solve

  • Misalignment between engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams
  • Underutilized digital tools like Windchill, Creo, or Codebeamer
  • Redundant or disconnected workflows slowing time-to-market
  • Lack of clarity in ownership, change management, or process accountability
  • Inconsistent data and documentation practices across departments

Before taking part in the assessment I was under the assumption that EAC was a typical Value Added Reseller (VAR). I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that isn’t the case. EAC has a breadth of services, depth of knowledge and dedication to product development that I haven’t seen in other VAR’s.
