Who this is a fit for

Why ETG is a stronger fit
Richard Machemehl founded ETG in 2003 after beginning his technical career in the U.S. Air Force. That field experience helps ETG protect the details that clients actually live with: reliability, clean execution, better handoff, and support that stays responsive.
What ETG tries to avoid
Systems that require too many remotes, apps, or workarounds
Product choices that fight the architecture or trim level of the space
Install-first decisions that create support problems later
