The Extengineering concept is simple. We provide a seamless extension of your engineering resources. Extengineering allows Parallel’s telecommunications experts to provide the best possible solutions for your business. At Parallel we’ll get to know your business and operate on your terms. Our senior team will manage as much of the project as you require – you decide the extent of our involvement.

What does that mean for you? It means an extra pair of hands, or a roomful, when you need them. We create a second workforce at our office that enables you to complete your project on time, on budget and to your exact specifications. It’s uncomplicated outsourcing that supports you, the Engineering Manager. If wireless and wireline networks are your business, Parallel Services is your solution
