Symphony Service Corp adds Engineering Design Services to its Outsourced Product Development Services

Company to provide offshore Engineering Services to CeBeNetwork, a provider of Technical Services to Aeronautical and Aerospace Industries.

Bangalore: Symphony Service Corp. today announced it has added advanced engineering design services to its flagship outsourced product development services, allowing customers in high-growth industries, such as aerospace, automotive and heavy engineering, to work with one provider for both software development and the designing and engineering of revenue-generating physical products. Symphony Services’ award-winning development teams will harness the power of advanced engineering services and programs, including CAD, CAE, CAM and PLM, to help its clients engineer products to precise specifications in a time and cost efficient way.

Symphony Services’ first client in the engineering design services space is CeBeNetwork, a company of the Voith Industrial Services and a Tier 1 Engineering Services supplier to Airbus. Symphony Services will work under the advice and guidance of CeBeNetwork’s European-based team of Aeronautical engineers and will build intellectual property over the course of its multi-year contract with CeBeNetwork. Symphony Services provides the full outsourcing environment as well as the staff. The scope of Symphony Services’ work will span the areas of Flight Physics, Structures, Systems and Cabin Design and Development.

“Symphony Service’s impressive base of technical talent and the proven delivery capabilities of its highly sophisticated Global Operations Centers around the world convinced us that they are the right partner to deliver Engineering Services to us,” said Frank Arnold, President and Managing Director, CeBeNetwork. “With the highly advanced product expertise from CeBeNetwork, we look forward to having Symphony Services work in connection with our internal product development team as we continue to exceed our clients’ expectations for on-time and on-budget delivery of such services.”

Symphony Services’ entrance into the market is a natural extension of its core outsourced product development capabilities, which center on developing commercial grade software and embedded systems for independent software vendors and software-enabled businesses that rely on software to power their business. By extending into engineering design services Symphony Services is now capable of providing services and support under the advice and guidance of engineering specialists from CeBeNetwork in highly advanced areas such as aircraft design. And the company will be able to apply increasingly sophisticated testing measures to ensure high quality deliveries for systems and components to perform according to specifications.

With the market for outsourced engineering design services expected to reach $50 billion by 2020 according to a Booz Allen / NASSCOM study, Symphony’s arrival is well timed; with the dominant sectors for these services including aerospace, automotive and heavy engineering.

“We’ve always remained steadfast in our devotion to exceeding our most demanding clients’ expectations for quality of work and breadth of offerings,” said Alok Sinha, Senior Vice President, Engineering Design Services, Symphony Services. “Extending our services in this way deepens our partnership with customers across the vertical market spectrum because they can now rely on a single service provider for both product engineering and software development services.”

Symphony Services’ CAD, CAE, CAM and PLM Expertise

Drawing on decades of collective engineering experience, Symphony Service’s product development and engineering experts, working in development centers around the world, hand in hand with their customers, will apply the most advanced methodologies and computational engineering tools in the design, development and utilization of machines, materials, instruments, structures and processes. Symphony Services’ engineering design services will leverage CAD for product design and 3D modeling; CAE for structural/crash/thermal analysis; CAM to create tool paths, post processing and simulation; and PLM for managing the lifecycle of parts, assemblies and products.
